Hi Heather, 

yeah, I get what you are saying about the linking records using the field 001 wich stands for OCLC control number. We just use koha record number. 

I noticed that you are not using $i subfield for the relationship designator-RDA Appendix J. Which subfield are you using ? Alsso I dont see this designator in your examples. 

By the way. do you know what is supposed to be exactly subfield $4 relationship. We just checked that in Spain they are using it as a code for the relationship, but there are no codes in RDA....it is confused

Hi, Mercedes! 

We are also a specialized library! I'm sorry that I don't have an answer for you about the plugin, but we have used RDA from almost the beginning of its introduction, and I've cataloged for decades using the 76X-78X fields (they predate RDA)--do you have specific questions about them? I have a public list of RDA records on our OPAC that might be of interest: 
[ https://keys.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-shelves.pl?op=view&shelfnumber=52&sortfield=title | Contents of RDA records › SF Maritime NHP Research Center catalog (bywatersolutions.com) ] 

And there are also some sample records on the Koha Wiki: 
[ https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Training_resources#Cataloging | Training resources - Koha Wiki (koha-community.org) ] 

We just discussed using the MARC21 78X linking entry fields at the last Koha-US Cataloging Special Interest Group (on June 2, 2022) which might be of interest, and the recording is posted on the Koha-US YouTube channel: [ https://www.youtube.com/c/kohaUS/videos | koha-US
 - YouTube ] 
(The Koha-US Cataloging SIG meetings are open to all, by the way, if you'd like to come to ask questions, get feedback, suggestions, etc.--you don't have to be a Koha-US member, or even in the US! Info here [ https://koha-us.org/special-interest-groups/ | Special
 Interest Groups – koha-US ] ) 

We're still on 21.05 (supported by ByWater Solutions) but will be upgrading to 21.11 in the coming months--I'm so excited about the new features! 

Cheerio!
