Ian- I normally do not see spaces in the LC number in authorities. Thanks Joy On Tue, Dec 22, 2015 at 11:26 AM, Ian Bays <ian.bays@ptfs-europe.com> wrote:
Thanks everyone.
Encouraged by your successes I was not getting a match on the 010$a but noticed the contents had at least one space in it. I set up a test record without any spaces and found it is matching now.
So it may be the index definitions for the 010$a in authorities that needs to allow for phrase or it may be that the 010$a should always have no spaces (or other white space).
For those that are using the 010$a can anyone say if they know if any of their 010$a have space(s) in them? The example I had been using was:
"n 81032458 " That is two spaces after the "n" and one at the end.
Many thanks. It may be we need to change the contents of the 010$a to exclude spaces and on the import too.
Thanks again. Ian On 22/12/2015 17:19, Hillyard, Cecil wrote:

You just have to make sure that your current records do have 010s to match on.

Chris, we had trouble getting a matching rule for authorities. We ended up using the 001 field I recall. It makes use of the Zebra indexes, so it is important that you put the right one.

Ian,
Joy's correct, while MARC authority records can have ISBNs, they typically do not. Sorry to lead you astray :-$

Ian- If you have the matching rule set up to match on the 010 subfield a using the LC-cardnumber index, then the matching should happen if 1. your authority records are indexed 2. you have 010$a in your existing records AND in the incoming records
(and
matches do exist).
(I'm assuming here that you've also specified the incoming file is an authority file, not a bibliographic file. )
I'm not sure that using a 020 will assist you in matching as that is a bibliographic tag, not an authority tag. And I do not believe the 020 is indexed for authority records. A tag must be indexed in order to be
used as
a match point.
When troubleshooting, I generally find a record I know should match and
then
look at the 010$a in the incoming file and existing record to see if
there
is anything that would potentially cause the match to fail.

Ian,
Off the top of my head, I thought that you might want to tried adding MARC authority field 020 (ISBN) as a match point to your matching point rule? Not every MARC authority record will have a LCCN (although most do).
Good luck and Merry Christmas,

Hi.
We are trying to stage some authority records to match existing authority records to overlay them. We have used the matching for bibliographic records successfully
before
but
are having difficulty with matching authority records. The version of Koha is 3.20.01.000 and we are MARC21 using dom
indexing
and
icu chains.
Before getting into the details, can I ask if anyone has any
experience
matching authorities (staging and managing) with any success?
We are trying to match on the 010$a and looking at the matching rules documentation in:

Thanks in advance.
