Renaming 520 in Secondary Literature #1519

Closed jenniferward closed 5 months ago

jenniferward commented 6 months ago

We had a field in Kallisto to record dates of publication for a journal (to clarify: beginning and end dates of a serial publication). This is in Muscat as 520 but is labeled Contents note. This correction renames the field to Dates of publication (following the new key added in https://github.com/rism-digital/translations/pull/124).

Those Dates of Publication and/or Sequential Designation, shouldn't go to 362 (https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd362.html)?. 520 is clearly for summary, abstract, etc (https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd520.html).

We have been configuring them in our own yaml configuration files just a few weeks ago, so they are fresh in my memory.

You are right, but I am in a bit of a bind. See https://github.com/rism-digital/muscat/issues/1490. The problem is that we have data that behaves like MARC 362 but it is in a field called Contents note and assigned to MARC 520. I was hoping that as a first step, I could at least assign the correct label to the field, then the label would at least match the data.

Over in Sources, we call 520 Description summary which is in alignment with MARC.

We don't really need a 520 Description summary in Publications in our use of it.

I see, that's a reasonable strategy.

Sorry, I think I did something wrong!
