MARC $5 (local notes) - Githubissues

timathom commented 10 years ago

MARC 5XX fields with $5 for local notes are being mapped to bf:Work and bf:Instance. However, since these are local notes that apply to a particular institution's holdings, wouldn't it be better to map them to a bf:Annotation for the bf:HeldItem?

Well, that’s an interesting definition of “local”; that it applies only to the particular institution’s holdings.

It might just be notes about items that are not in MARC, and the institution wants to give it a special meaning, and not use the 500?

Anyone else?

Yes, subfield $5 is in a number of fields in MARC and does indicate institution-specific information. It's in a lot of note fields but also in 246, 655, 7XX. The definition is: "MARC code of the institution or organization that holds the copy to which the data in the field applies. Data in the field may not apply to the universal description of the item or may apply universally to the item but be of interest only to the location cited. " That would argue for making data coming from a field with a $5 an Annotation.

bf:copyNote in bf:HeldItem?

fallgrennj commented 10 years ago

Unfortunately, you can't always id the specific copy to which the data applies (if there is a #3 for material specified, it may say not be specific enough or it may to another Instance, e,g., digitization of the microfilm copy a book will be a 583 field in the book BIB, or with a $3 microfilm or with no $3 to id the copy at all). So a more generic bf:annotation may be needed.

I don't have an answer, just an illustration of the problem.

This e-book is available from Hathi and Google, but the notes apply only to Hathi,

They come out looking as if they apply to the Instance as a whole.
