MARC 240 repeated $n #196

Open kiegel opened 9 years ago

kiegel commented 9 years ago

In field 240 (Uniform Title) the $n (Number of part/section of a work) is repeatable, for example

240 10 |a Quatuors en fugues, |n op. 1. |n No 2

It is converted as:

bf:partNumber "No 2",
        "op. 1." ;

The problem is that the two part numbers are related and appear in a specific order: op. 1. No 2. In a triple store, there is no order, so the statement "No 2 op. 1." is equally "true" but incorrect.

This is an example of the larger problem of needing to order data elements. Unfortunately, combining both $n subfields together does not work in all cases.
