What's the impact? 3: Marginal, people get confused

@mietcls what you are showing is the detail page on lib.ugent.be, not on biblio.ugent.be.

Your example seems to correct now on lib.ugent.be

Found another example: https://lib.ugent.be/en/catalog/pug01:01H618ZYT6NBV3JY5P5C2EPVK1?i=0&q=01H618ZYT6NBV3JY5P5C2EPVK1, which is "journal article" on biblio.ugent.be.

[nicolasfranck]

The mapping from biblio to lib.ugent.be is done by lludss-import, and seems to focus on the field classification (which is mapped to marc field 920a which becomes type in lib.ugent.be:

@phochste ?

[mietcls]

@nicolasfranck yes this about it's shown in lib. Whenever a publication is undefined, it shows as "misc" on lib – which is "technically" incorrect. To be refined what the outcome should be. Not urgent at all (hence "to refine" status).

@nicolasfranck can you update https://github.ugent.be/Universiteitsbibliotheek/lludss-import/blob/master/lib/Catmandu/Importer/Biblio.pm to use type instead of classification to deteremine 920a?

(should be a lluddss-import issue)

[nicolasfranck]

@nics I'd rather have @phochste explain why it was done the way it was done. Maybe there were good reasons

[phochste]

The reasoning at the time was 'classification' is the officially type of the article as approved by UGent. The 'type' is just a choice by the person that created the record.

Also in discussions how to map data the 'classification' is more well known. The question was for lib 'put all A1-s in such a way and P in that way.

Also records based on classification had other processing rules in bellow. E.g. B3-s are known to to have often full-text that doesn't really contain the full-text of the thing that is described in the record.

[nicolasfranck]

@mietcls I guess this is a bit unclear. Something to discuss, and move to discussions? Implementation is unclear anyway

[mietcls]

Yes! Thanks @nicolasfranck & @phochste
