Craig, Cecil, Sebastian, At this time, Koha's authority model relies on MARC data. If you have a file of Authority MARC records, those can be easily imported into Koha using the Tools-Stage MARC records area. However, if the file contains RDF/XML or triples of some sort, then that file would need to be converted into MARC before it could be imported. -Joy On Fri, Jan 29, 2016 at 2:43 AM, Sebastian Hierl <s.hierl@aarome.org> wrote:

Hi all,
I've been curious for a while now if anyone has successfully bulk-uploaded into Koha (3.20 or newer) one of the free LC Name authority database files available through the Library of Congress: http://id.loc.gov/download/
I wonder if it's even possible given the file formats in which these files are available (n-triples, rdf/xml, Turtle, etc). It looks like some sort of conversion would be required before uploading into the Koha authorities module. It would be lovely to bulk upload a Name authority file direct from LC rather than Z39.50'ing individual authorities.
Can anyone share how they may (or may not) have accomplished this?
Thanks everyone,
