Description Héctor Eduardo Castro Avalos 2016-01-28 21:46:40 UTC
Sometimes the librarian want a way to harvest a few records not recorded in Z39.50 databases also they want to obtain and manage a versatile format supported in MARCEdit or MARCMaker.

Koha doesn't have support to export in MARCMaker. This feature is very useful to librarian whom are accustomed to use it especially in MARCEdit software.

This is for test purpose, we need to ask the creator for permission to use the XSL file, or we're gonna need to create our own xsl to transform.

As far as I know, MARCMaker is format which isn't used in the Unimarc-world. It seems to be an old and outdated tool. Don't you think so? Is it really still used? Doesn't MARCEdit support ISO2709 format? And there if I recall properly, there is already a link Koha-MARCEdit.

> Add UNIMARC to MARC21 transformation

Such a simplistic conversion via XSLT could make sense when used during Z39.50 importation process, because a cataloguer will reformat the result into valid MARC21. Otherwise, with this manual pass, it's necessarily a mess.
