How to import thesaurus data into a KOHA instance?
Hi, I am part of a team that tries to get a KOHA instance configured for an existing library. Among other things we want to import a thesaurus of keywords and authors to be used later when we add the actual books to the catalogue. I do have the keyword/author data in electronically processable form. I am a software developer and I will be able to convert them to any format that KOHA might need. But I dont know what KOHA needs and how to actually import those data into KOHA. So my question basically is how to do that. * Is there any step-by-step guide how to import thesausus data into KOHA? The standard web interface does not seem to have this capability and right now I have access to KOHA only via the standard web interface / intranet, no access to the computer on which KOHA is actually installed. * What format will I have to convert these data to for a successful import into KOHA? Is there a specification for this, maybe an XML schema or something similar? Thanks in advance to the experts, AH :) -- Sent from: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-general-f3047918.html
