I worked on tweaking Nora's rule to work for me on my system (running DB rev 3.01.00.144, just a few behind HEAD), and got the following as a working, stand-alone rule: Match threshold: 100 Matchpoints (just the one): Search index: Control-number Score: 101 Tag: 001 Subfields: a Offset: 0 Length: 0 Normalization rule: Control-number Required Match checks: none (remove the blank one) I'd love to see further documentation on how to choose the search indexes and normalization rules... or perhaps a dropdown of implemented options. -Ian 2010/7/27 Nora Blake <nblake@masslibsystem.org>

Hi Evelyn,

We use the following rule with success:

Search Index: utility

Source: 1100

Tag: 001

Subfields: a

Offset: 0

Length: 0

Normalization rule: ISBN

You can assign whatever number (over 1,000 I think) in the “Source” box. This is part of a multi match point rule that we have set up and we assign different source numbers to each match point with the idea that the match score would tell us which point(s) the match was made on.

I hope this helps you.

Nora

Folks, search indexes are in Zebra's records.abs file. For instance, for biblionumber (999$c), you should see the label Local-number. This is the search index. Thanks, Savitra Sirohi Nucsoft OSS Labs http://www.osslabs.biz On Sat, Aug 7, 2010 at 7:02 PM, Nicole Engard <nengard@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Nicole, Savitra, From what I have discovered about the search indexing there are two configuration files that have an impact on this. The actual term that you search for will be defined in "ccl.properties" and the file "record.abs" tells the zebra indexing what data to extract from the MARC data. So conceptually record.abs tells zebra how to fill the search index and ccl.properties tells you what you can search for. Ideally both files should tell a similar story but it is not always so. If a field is in record.abs but not in ccl.properties it will be in the search index files but you will not be able to search on it, and conversely if it is in ccl.properties but not in record.abs you will be able to search on it but there will be no data indexed. I have used "Control-number" in record matching rules which maps to the 001 MARC tag successfully. Some searchable tags can be called a nuber of different things - for instance you can search for au, aut or Author all of which equate to author name. The following is from delivered ccl.properties: #Author-name 1003 A personal or corporate author, 100, 110, 111, 400 # or a conference or meeting 410, 411, 700, 710, # name. (No subject name 711, 800, 810, 811 # headings are included.) Author 1=1003 s=pw au Author aut 1=1003 So if you are setting up a Record Matching Rule and you want to see if the index you choose works then you can search in the simple search box for (eg): Control-number="123456" or Control-number:123456 or similar. If it does not work for data you know to be there then check that record.abs puts the data into the search index and ccl.properties enables you to search on it. I have not used a Normalization rule - sorry. I hope this is helpful. Ian On 09/08/2010 13:10, Nicole Engard wrote:

Hi Nicole, The only bit I can comment on is this bit: + <para>'Search index' can be found by looking at the zebra.abs + file on your system which tells the zebra indexing what data + to extract from the MARC data</para> It should not be "zebra.abs" or even "record.abs", but it should be ccl.properties. Also the text should then say "'Search index' can be found by looking at the ccl.properties file on your system which tells the zebra indexing what data to search for in the MARC data". The following link shows the content of ccl.properties (as it was when documented): http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/searching/guide-to-searching/ccl-in... I hope that is OK.

Can you guys (and anyone else) take a look at the new stuff I documented: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=kohadocs.git;a=commit;h=d299fff10f18... There are still some question marks in my documentation that I'd love some help filling in. I didn't go into all of the stuff Ian wrote yet because it was more advanced than I wanted to get in this starting documentation.

Nicole, on normalization rules - I am looking at the code, and I can see there is a default normalization routine that removes characters like commas and semi-colons, but nothing else. So from what I can tell, it should not matter what you put in the normalization rules field, it will always yield the same result.

Cool! So, maybe we don't need that as an option on the page since no matter what value you assign the same thing will happen.

Hi Nicole Field 001 contains the control number of the organization which is identified in the field 003. Typically field 001 should contain the control number of the local system. MARC 21 Format for Bibliographic Data, 001 - Control Number http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd001.html Contains the control number assigned by the organization creating, using, or distributing the record. For interchange purposes, documentation of the structure of the control number and input conventions should be provided to exchange partners by the organization initiating the interchange. The MARC code identifying whose system control number is present in field 001 is contained in field 003 (Control Number Identifier). An organization receiving a record may move the incoming control number from field 001 (and the control number identifier from field 003) to field 035 (System Control Number), 010 (Library of Congress Control Number), or 016 (National Bibliographic Agency Control Number), as appropriate, and place its own system control number in field 001 (and its control number identifier in field 003). ma, 2010-08-09 kello 08:09 -0400, Nicole Engard kirjoitti:

Silly question here - isn't 001 the LOC number? and 040 the OCLC number? I'm asking because I'm adding what I learned in this thread to the manual for others to benefit from later.
