Add TIND Repository translator #3387

Open thms-rmb opened 1 week ago

thms-rmb commented 1 week ago

TIND provides a SaaS solution for libraries and digital repositories to host various materials. There may be many institutions running TIND. This PR introduces a simple translator that should work for most institutions.

There is already an existing translator for the ILS flavor of TIND:

https://github.com/zotero/translators/blob/bc846072a55a679866608b0d16009d2e4cfb8f0b/Library%20Catalog%20(TIND%20ILS).js

That translator uses the MARCXML content directly. The downside to that is that it makes it harder to customize the mapping to the Zotero data model. TIND provides a Schema.org representation of records, which is much more customizable by the institution, and which I think is a more suitable target for translating into the Zotero data model.

Disclaimer: I work for TIND.

Thanks! A little hard to evaluate this without test cases. Could you use Scaffold (Tools -> Developer -> Translator Editor) and add some?
