Mappings for field 880 from MARC21 standard #101

Open switowski opened 8 years ago

The LOC specification for 880 seems to be very difficult (impossible?) to map to JSON in a reasonable manner (basically almost all the subfields can be mapped to Same as associated field JSON key, which doesn't make sense) : https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd880.html

Do we have any real life examples for those fields or is this fields unused ? CC @tiborsimko @aw-bib @martinkoehler @fjorba @jma who might know any examples

It should occur mainly in multilingual catalogues where the languages catalogued use different scripts, so you can have a Latin transliteration of say Cyrillic or Chinese entities. From join² we do not have examples of this as we do not use it.
