Metadata Import for Series Information

[joncameron]

Description

Updating MARC21slim2MODS3-5-avalon.xsl to bring Series information in to records via Avalon's bibliographic import. See #5275 for Series metadata implementation details.

This appears to already be mapped in our XLS—importing cat key 5520383 on avalon-dev will pull a value into the Series field. It's pulling in the 830 field from the MARC into Series. It's also picking up on the full set of text values. For example this MARC: 830 0 a| Studies in religion and literature (Fordham University Press) ; v| no. 4. =| ^A1501334 Becomes: Studies in religion and literature (Fordham University Press) ; no. 4 And is present in the MODS like so:

<relatedItem type="series">
<titleInfo>
<title>
Studies in religion and literature (Fordham University Press) ; no. 4
</title>
</titleInfo>
</relatedItem>

Testing Sources

• MARCXML from IUCAT
• FilmDB (IULMIA cataloging tool also using MARC21slim2MODS3-5-avalon.xsl internally)

IUCAT Example

Item in series: https://iucat.iu.edu/catalog/5520383 Series listing: https://iucat.iu.edu/?q=%22Studies+in+religion+and+literature+Fordham+University+Press%22&search_field=series_link&search_scope=catalog Listed as "Uniform Series| in IUCAT (830 field in Marc)

Series item: https://iucat.iu.edu/catalog/7816368 Series title search result: https://iucat.iu.edu/?q=%22American+Indian+video+series%22&search_field=series_link&search_scope=catalog

FilmDB Example

Series: https://filmdb.dlib.indiana.edu/series/91742 Item: https://filmdb.dlib.indiana.edu/titles/348834 https://filmdb.dlib.indiana.edu/physical_objects/204959 MODS for bibimport: https://filmdb.dlib.indiana.edu/services/mods/40000000857435

Done Looks Like

• [x] Review what is already in place with Julie to see if all mappings are correct and already in place
• [x] Mappings for series information in MARC XML added to Avalon's XSL document (this information was already coming through in the existing transformation)
• [x] Series information from FilmDB populates in Avalon

[joncameron]

Our current implementation does bring in Series from some different fields, but is that the right place? This would be a question for Julie—or we if have some sample data to try this out.

@jlhardes Is there a MARC field you would recommend we use when importing Series?

[joncameron]

There are already places in the MARC that are coming into this property; these should be checked to make sure they're the values we want to have.

Resources from Julie I referenced for this:

The MODS to RDF white paper actually shows some examples on the MODS XML side that can be helpful too (starting page 43): https://samvera-repo.hykuup.com/concern/generic_works/b922d5e1-abfe-4305-a696-0c6d72c962ff

There are also examples of using the relatedItem element in the MODS user guide: https://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/userguide/relateditem.html

I've emailed Andrew Albrecht about adding the Series information to the MODS that FilmDB produces, since it currently doesn't provide that in the metadata service and that's something he'll probably need to change within the FilmDB application.
