[Koha] Marc framework test error

[Zeno Tajoli]

Hi to all,

>Where does the "| Authority:PER, " in the "Constraints" part of
>Subfield "a" (Entry Element) come from?

This definition comes from english Unimarac setup of Koha.
Go to the file
  installer/data/mysql/en/marcflavour/unimarc/
mandatory/unimarc_framework_DEFAULT.sql
line 1362:
('700', 'a', 'Entry Element', 'Entry Element', 0, 0, '', 7, '', 
'PER', '', 0, 0, '', '', '', NULL),

The string 'PER' is the link to authority for subfield 700$a

But in the english Koha definition of Unimarc Authority there isn't a
specific structure for Personal Name.
You can see this situation in the file
  installer/data/mysql/en/marcflavour/unimarc/
mandatory/authorities_normal_unimarc.sql

Well, in version 3.0.x the only place where the name of Authority is 
hardcoded, as I know,
is in unimarc_framework_DEFAULT.sql (as I write above).
The suggestion of Joe is correct.

In fact the english setup of Unimarc has problems and  not only here, 
also in Zebra defintions and in fields used for items
information.
I think that a general check of english unimarc setup is a must, also 
to use it as a starting point for translation in different
languages.
But who want ot use Unimarc ?
Italy (I)
Portugal (Ricardo Dias Marques)
France (Biblibre, but the fr-FR section is correct I think)

Anybody else ?

Bye to all

PS: I'm on leave from 31/07 to 22/08 and from 23/08 to 30/08 I will 
be in IFLA congress. So any pratical work will start from 01/09/2009
