C4::Record - MARC, MARCXML, DC, MODS, XML, etc. Record Management Functions and API
New in Koha 3.x. This module handles all record-related management functions.
my ($error,$newmarc) = marc2marc($marc,$to_flavour,$from_flavour,$encoding);
Returns an ISO-2709 scalar
my ($error,$marcxml) = marc2marcxml($marc,$encoding,$flavour);
Returns a MARCXML scalar
$marc - an ISO-2709 scalar or MARC::Record object
$encoding - UTF-8 or MARC-8 [UTF-8]
$flavour - MARC21 or UNIMARC
$dont_entity_encode - a flag that instructs marc2marcxml not to entity encode the xml before returning (optional)
my ($error,$marc) = marcxml2marc($marcxml,$encoding,$flavour);
Returns an ISO-2709 scalar
$marcxml - a MARCXML record
$encoding - UTF-8 or MARC-8 [UTF-8]
$flavour - MARC21 or UNIMARC
my dcxml = marc2dcxml ($marc, $xml, $biblionumber, $format);
EXAMPLE
my dcxml = marc2dcxml (undef, undef, 1, "oaidc");
Convert MARC or MARCXML to Dublin Core metadata (XSLT Transformation), optionally can get an XML directly from biblio_metadata without item information. This method take into consideration the syspref 'marcflavour' (UNIMARC or MARC21). Return an XML file with the format defined in $format
$marc - an ISO-2709 scalar or MARC::Record object
$xml - a MARCXML file
$biblionumber - biblionumber for database access
$format - accept three type of DC formats (oaidc, srwdc, and rdfdc )
my $modsxml = marc2modsxml($marc);
Returns a MODS scalar
my $madsxml = marc2madsxml($marc);
Returns a MADS scalar
my $xml = _transformWithStylesheet($marc, $stylesheet)
Returns the XML scalar result of the transformation. $stylesheet should contain the path to a stylesheet under intrahtdocs.
my ($csv) = marc2csv($biblios, $csvprofileid, $itemnumbers);
Pre and postprocessing can be done through a YAML file
Returns a CSV scalar
$biblio - a list of biblionumbers
$csvprofileid - the id of the CSV profile to use for the export (see export_format.export_format_id)
$itemnumbers - a list of itemnumbers to export
my ($csv) = marcrecord2csv($biblio, $csvprofileid, $header);
Returns a CSV scalar
$biblio - a biblionumber
$csvprofileid - the id of the CSV profile to use for the export (see export_format.export_format_id)
$header - true if the headers are to be printed (typically at first pass)
$csv - an already initialised Text::CSV object
$fieldprocessing
$itemnumbers a list of itemnumbers to export
my ($error, $newrecord) = changeEncoding($record,$format,$flavour,$to_encoding,$from_encoding);
Changes the encoding of a record
$record - the record itself can be in ISO-2709, a MARC::Record object, or MARCXML for now (required)
$format - MARC or MARCXML (required)
$flavour - MARC21 or UNIMARC, if MARC21, it will change the leader (optional) [defaults to Koha system preference]
$to_encoding - the encoding you want the record to end up in (optional) [UTF-8]
$from_encoding - the encoding the record is currently in (optional, it will probably be able to tell unless there's a problem with the record)
FIXME: the from_encoding doesn't work yet
FIXME: better handling for UNIMARC, it should allow management of 100 field
FIXME: shouldn't have to convert to and from xml/marc just to change encoding someone needs to re-write MARC::Record's 'encoding' method to actually alter the encoding rather than just changing the leader
my ($bibtex) = marc2bibtex($record, $id);
Returns a BibTex scalar
$record - a MARC::Record object
$id - an id for the BibTex record (might be the biblionumber)
my ($entity_encoded_string) = _entity_encode($string);
or
my (@entity_encoded_strings) = _entity_encode(@strings);
Entity-encode an array of strings
