Bug 7475: Enable authority overlay

Description Jared Camins-Esakov 2012-01-28 16:29:45 UTC
Right now it is impossible to overlay existing records when importing new authority records. There needs to be a script that handles the following overlay options:
* Overlay (or discard) based on matching preferred headings (1xx in MARC21, 2xx in UNIMARC)
* Overlay (or discard) based on matching LCCNs (010 in MARC21)
* Overlay (or discard) based on matching control numbers (001 for both MARC21 and UNIMARC)
* Overlay (or discard) based on matching an earlier form of the heading (4xx$w/2=[aeo] in MARC21, 4xx$5=a in UNIMARC)
* Select which record to keep based on the date last modified (003 in MARC21)

This script will enable libraries to keep their authority records up to date with the latest national authority files, without polluting the local authority file with numerous copies of authority records (every time they are updated).

False alarm, sorry. This was the wrong patch.

The commit message and functionality in this version of the patch should actually line up.
Comment 7 Jared Camins-Esakov 2012-06-23 03:37:06 UTC
I am preparing the patch for bug 2060, and the test plan is pretty much exactly the same, so I would suggest holding off on signing off on this one, and I will submit one combined patch (or a series of combined patches) which can then be signed off with exactly as much work as either one was going to be individually.
