Fix confusion between 099 and 942 field in UNIMARC framework
by Mathieu Saby 23 Aug '25

23 Aug '25

Hi Some weeks ago I submitted a patch in order to fix the management of Koha-specific fields in UNIMARC. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=38336 If you're familiar with the way Koha manage UNIMARC and think you can make a constructive comment, don't hesitate. Even if don't know UNIMARC you should be able to test easily the patch and sign if off by following the test plan. Regards, Mathieu Saby, Université Cote d'Azur

Hi We also add the author's VIAF, Wikidata, and ISNI URIs to the authority record. Is there a way to display the author's registered data from VIAF, Wikidata, and ISNI on Koha's OPAC page?

Re: [Koha] VIAF, Wikidata, and ISNI
by Stefano Bargioni 27 May '25

Hi, Kazım, for a discussion of reuse especially based on Wikidata, please see https://jlis.fupress.net/index.php/jlis/article/view/61 A Javascript only AuthorityBox is implemented in the URBS or PIAC Koha ILSes. Examples: http://koha-urbs.reteurbs.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=2371… https://catalogo.piac.it/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=17784 Note that to implement the AuthorityBox in your OPAC, you need a Wikidata property for your authority records (agent names). URBS property is is https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P8750, PIAC is https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P8982. Your practice to add the author's VIAF, Wikidata, and ISNI URIs to the authority records will help a lot to populate your property. With a Wikidata property, your Koha will be part of the LOD cloud.
