From YouTube: Town Hall Webinar on Authorities with Joy Nelson
Description
Town Hall Webinar on Authorities in Koha with ByWater Solutions' Director of Migrations Joy Nelson. Recorded August 24, 2016.
A
That,
yes,
I
see
it.
Okay,
great
just
like
amy
said
we
are
recording
this
particular
webinar,
which
is
now
going
to
make
me
really
nervous
when
I'm
speaking,
because
I'm
sure
I
say
a
lot
of
ums
and
other
fillers.
So
I
apologize
if
I
stumble
a
little
bit,
but
just
also
to
let
you
all
know
I'll,
be
writing
a
blog
post
about
authorities,
and
there
is
some
other
information
that
I
can
also
provide
in
a
written
form,
which
was
just
too
much
to
put
into
a
spreadsheet
or
to
a
powerpoint
presentation
like
this.
A
I
didn't
want
to
overwhelm
everybody
with
reading
a
lot
of
words
on
the
screen,
so
expect
a
follow-up
blog
post
that
will
have
a
lot
of
the
written
information
that
we'll
talk
about
today.
So
this
is
a
really
short
powerpoint
presentation
about
authority
records
in
quahog
kind
of
goes
over
sort
of
the
highlights.
So,
if
you're
not
familiar
with
authority
records,
this
is
kind
of
a
good
introduction.
If
you're
already
familiar
with
them
kind
of
bear
with
me,
it
shouldn't
take
too
long,
and
then
we
can
open
up
the
floor.
A
Two
questions
because
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
y'all
that
are
using
authority
records
or
want
to
start
using
authority
records
are
going
to
have
a
lot
of
questions
on
on
how
to
do
that
in
coho.
And
what
do
some
of
these
things
mean
and
how
do
they
interact?
So,
let's
go
ahead
and
get
started
with
authority
records
here.
A
A
Well,
if
I
could
figure
out
how
to
change
the
page,
we
would
do
that.
Let's
see
here
there
we
go.
So
what
is
an
authority
record
all
right,
so
an
authority
record
is
very
simply
an
authorized
form
of
usually
either
a
name
or
a
subject.
So
those
names
that
are
listed
here-
some
examples-
the
personal
names,
corporate
names,
meeting
names,
uniform
titles,
the
classic
example
of
authority
records.
That's
usually
given
in.
A
Cataloging
101
in
library
school
is
going
to
be
mark
twain
who's,
also
known
as
samuel
clemens.
Other
examples
would
be
alternate
spellings
of
names,
and
so,
if
you
wanted
to
standardize
how
you're
cataloging
for
a
particular
author,
that's
really
mainly
why
authority
records
would
be
used
same
thing
for
corporate
names,
meaning
names,
etc.
A
So
the
number
one
question
I
get
asked
a
lot
of
times
about
authority
records
is:
how
do
I
get
them?
Okay,
so
the
simplest
answer
to
that
is:
well,
you
can
import
them
well,
that
assumes
you
already
have
them.
So
if
you
do
have
a
set
of
authority
records
or
if
you've
downloaded
a
set
of
authority
records
or
if
you've
received
a
set
of
authority
records
from
a
vendor
who's,
perhaps
taken
a
look
at
your
bibliographic
data
and
said:
oh,
you
need
authority
records
for
all
of
these
topics
and
names.
A
They've,
provided
these
authority
records
to
you
and
they
are
mark
records
authority
records.
So
you
can
import
those
just
like
you
would
import
bibliographic
mark
records
and
I've
taken
a
little
snapshot
of
the
screen
here
that
you
can
see
over
on
the
right,
which
is
how
you
would
specify
that
you're
importing
authority
records.
You
simply
choose
the
file,
you
upload
it
and
where
it
says,
record
type,
you
would
select
authority
instead
of
bibliographic.
A
A
lot
of
the
steps
are
the
same.
You
can
even
match
authority
records
and
we
can
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
later,
since
that's
a
little
bit
more
advanced,
but
that's
how
you
would
get
authority
records
into
your
system.
That's
one
of
the
ways
and
it's
a
great
way
to
get
a
lot
of
records
in
there
quickly.
A
The
second
most
common
way
is
probably
to
create
them
when
you're
cataloging,
when
you
get
to
an
authority
controlled
field,
let's
just
say
the
100
tag
and
you're
using
authority
records.
You
could
say
I'm
going
to
look
for
an
authority
record
and
if
I
don't
have
one
I'm
going
to
create
an
authority
record,
so
you
can
create
them
manually
or
you
can
import
authority
records
via
z3950
all
right.
The
third
way
is
to
let
koha
create
them.
A
This
is
probably
the
least
preferred
way
for
most
libraries
that
use
authority
records,
but
coho
can
create
authority
records
for
you.
These
are
machine
generated
authority
records,
and
I
have
an
example
that
I'll
show
you
a
little
bit
later
in
this
presentation
on
what
that
means.
Machine
generated
is
going
to
have
very
minimal
information.
It's
essentially
just
going
to
have
the
term
that
you're
trying
to
control
or
normalize.
A
So
if
the
author
or
the
meeting
or
the
subject
heading,
it's
not
going
to
have
a
lot
of
other
information
in
there
about
that,
it's
not
going
to
have
a
see.
Also
it's
not
going
to
have
any
other
reference
information
in
there.
It
will
simply
be
a
small
record
kind
of
like
I
call
them
stub
records,
and
it
will
have
a
tag
in
there
that
specifies
that
it
is
a
machine
generated
record
that
was
created.
A
Okay,
so
once
you've
gotten
authority
records
that
was
kind
of
a
leap
right,
so
we
jump
right.
Over
into
now,
we
have
authority
records.
What
do
what
do
we
do
with
them?
There
are
some
system
preferences
within
quahog
that
are
going
to
impact,
how
your
authorities
behave
or
how
you
create
authority
records
when
you're
cataloging
in
in
the
system.
So
there
are
three
main
ones
that
affect
your
authority
records.
The
first
one
is
the
auto,
create
authorities.
A
So
any
of
y'all
who
have
access
to
the
system
preferences
can
can
go
check
and
see
how
you
have
your
system
set
up
for
authority
records
so
auto.
Create
authorities
has
two
options
generate
or
don't
generate
what
this
one
will
do
is
allow
koha
to
create
those
machine
generated
authority
records
this
system-
preference,
as
it
says
here,
works
hand
in
hand
with
the
biblio
ads
authorities.
A
If
you
don't
have
the
biblio
ads
authority
set
to
allow
the
system,
preference
won't
have
any
effect.
So
you
have
to
have
the
system
set
up
to
allow
editing
the
bib
to
create
an
authority
record
for
this
auto,
create
to
generate
an
authority
record
so
that
one's
a
yes
or
no,
but
it
does
have
some
interplay
with
the
biblio
ads
authority.
A
The
biblio
ads
authority
again
has
two
options
which
is
allow
or
don't
allow,
and
so,
as
you
can
read
the
screen
here
so
when
you
set
it
to
allow,
when
you
catalog,
you
don't
have
to
select
an
existing
authority
record,
you
have
the
option
to
create
a
new
authority
record.
You
can
search
for
an
authority
record
or
you
can
just
enter
free
text
in
the
authority
driven
tag
with
don't
allow
means
you
have
to
select
an
existing
authority
record.
A
You
don't
give
your
catalogers
the
option
to
create
a
new
authority
record,
and
so
that's
kind
of
more
restrictive.
We're
only
going
to
be
adding
the
authority
records
that
we
like
and
catalogers,
have
to
select
one
of
those
okay,
the
third
one
that
affects
the
way
that
your
authority
records
work
here.
Is
that
don't
merge,
and
this
is
a
do
or
don't.
This
has
always
been
kind
of
a
funny
system
preference
to
me,
because
if
you
set
this
to
don't
there
is
a
cron
job
we
can
run
that
will
do
it
for
you.
A
I
don't
understand
why
people
wouldn't
set
this
to
do,
although
I'm
sure
there
probably
are
people
who
prefer
to
have
this
set
to
don't
and
then
run
the
cron
job
or
you
could
have
it
set
to
don't
and
not
run
the
crown
job,
so
they
would
never
merge
so
to
kind
of
explain
what
the
merge
means.
This
is
where
we're
talking
about
when
you
edit
an
authority
record
that
that
change
then
trickles
down
to
that
bib
record.
So,
let's
just
say
we
go
in
and
george
rr
martin.
A
So
it's
the
long
version.
If
you
were
to
change
that
to
george
you
know:
name
name,
martin,
those
those
names
that
you've
added
are
going
to
show
up
in
that
bibliographic
record
in
the
100
tag.
So
changes
you
make
to
authority
records
can
trickle
down
to
your
bibliographic
records
and
update
those
authority
driven
tags
if
they're
tied
together.
Okay,
so
that's
kind
of
a
nice
feature.
If
you're
updating
your
authority
records,
you
don't
have
to
then
go
update,
50
bibliographic
records,
you
change.
A
All
right,
so
you
just
heard
me
talk
about
linking
right,
so
that's
kind
of
the
other
big
piece
of
this
puzzle.
So
how
do
we
link
these
authorities
and
bibliographic
records
together
and
the
most
common
way
to
do?
That
is
to
just
do
that
at
the
time
of
cataloging.
So,
for
example,
if
your
catalogers
are
selecting
existing
authority
records
when
they're
cataloging,
they
catalog
a
title,
they
would
select
an
existing
authority
record
when
they
select
that
record.
It
is
automatically
linked
to
that
bibliographic
record.
A
So
there's
there's
a
link
that
I'll
show
you
what
that
looks
like,
but
this
that
link
is
made
at
that
particular
time.
Okay,
that's
probably
the
most
the
most
common
way
that
that
these
authority
records
and
bib
records
are
linked
together.
It's
probably
also
the
way
that
has
the
tightest
level
of
control
over
that
you're
controlling
when
that
information
and
what
information
gets
linked
together.
A
There
is
another
way
to
link
your
bibliographic
records
and
authority
records
and
that's
through
a
cron
job.
Those
crown
jobs
are
system
processes
that
run
nightly
and
usually
in
batch
and
kind
of
resource
intensive,
and
so
this
would
be
one
of
those
where
it's
going
to
go.
Look
at
all
of
your
bib
records
and
all
of
the
the
tags
that
are
specified
as
authority
controlled
tags.
A
And
then
it's
going
to
go
see
if
it
finds
a
match
in
the
authority
records
and
if
it
finds
a
match
in
the
authority
records
it
may
or
may
not
link
it
depending
on
the
settings
and
again
there
are
some
system
preferences
here
that
we'll
look
at,
but
just
understand
that
cron
job
can
link
those
bibs
for
you
to
the
authorities
automatically,
and
we
usually
will
run
that
weekly.
We
can
run
it
nightly,
depending
on
the
size
of
your
collection.
A
All
right,
so
the
system
preferences
okay,
so
we
talked
about
the
system
preferences
that
run
authorities
just
in
general,
so
kind
of
keeping
those
in
mind
that
you
can
create
auto,
create
authorities
and
whether
or
not
editing
your
bid
will
allow
you
to
create
authority
records
these
particular
system
preferences
which
are
located
next
to
those
authority
system
preferences.
Are
the
system
preferences
that
directly
control
how
that
linker
process
works,
and
these
are,
I
think,
they're
if
this
is
exactly
what
the
screen
looks
like
it's
a
small
snapshot
of
a
section
of
that
screen.
A
But
if
you
go
to
look
under
authorities,
you'll
see
the
linker,
and
these
are
the
four
most
important
system
preferences.
So
I
thought
I'd
kind
of
go
over
these
four
in
a
little
bit
of
detail
for
you,
so
the
first
one
is
the
linker
keeping
stale.
So
what
this
does?
Is
it
either
does
or
does
not?
So
that's
the
option
do
or
do
not.
I
always
feel
like
I
sound
like
yoda
a
little
bit
here.
A
You
know
there's
no,
try
only
do,
but
so
do
or
do
not
we're
going
to
keep
existing
links
to
authority
records
where
there
is
no
match.
So,
let's
just
say,
you've
got
a
link
to
an
authority
record
or
you
have
a
link
to
this.
This
concept,
the
subject
heading
but
somehow
you've
you've
deleted
that
authority
record.
You
don't
have
an
authority
record
for
it
anymore,
but
you
already
have
it
linked
previously
to
an
authority
record,
but
yet
that
authority
record
is
now
gone
and
what
this
does
or
that
authority
record
has
changed.
A
Okay
and
you
don't
have
the
merge
set
up
right
so
now
we're
linked
to
george
rr
martin.
But
now
the
authority
record
says
george
reynolds
r
martin,
for
example,
that
doesn't
match
right
there
they're
completely
different
strings
that
it's
trying
to
match
when
you
have
it
set
to
to
do
not
it's
going
to
say.
Oh,
this
doesn't
match
that
this.
Isn't
that
authority
record
I'm
going
to
remove
that
link
because
we
don't
actually
have
an
authority
record
now
for
george
rr
martin.
We
have
an
authority
rack
for
george
reynolds
r
martin.
A
So
there's
there's
no
link.
There's
no
with
matching
authority
record
we're
not
going
to
have
a
link,
I'm
going
to
remove
that
link.
If
you
have
it
set
to
do
keep
existing
links,
it
would
say
I'm
going
to
keep
this
link
to
george
reynolds
r
martin.
Although
my
string
says
george
rr
martin,
I'm
going
to
keep
it
because
that's
more
important
for
me
to
know
that
those
are
the
same
and
that
they're
related.
B
A
So
that's
that's.
The
kind
of
the
high
level
do
or
do
not.
Are
you
going
to
keep
a
link
to
an
authority
record
if
that
authority
record
essentially
no
longer
matches,
and
there
is
no
other
authority
record
that
matches
okay,
the
the
next
system,
preference
that
we
have
here
is
linker
module
and
this
one
should
always
be
default
default's,
just
the
best
way
to
run
this.
I
think
the
two
options
here
are
first
match
and
last
match
does
exactly
as
you
would
expect
it's
going
to
go.
A
A
A
Is
what's
going
to
tell
the
system
that
if
I
have
an
authority
record,
that's
already
linked,
I'm
either
going
to
re-link
it
or
I'm
or
I'm
going
to
do
not,
which
is
I'm
not
going
to
relink
it?
So
you
can
think
about
this
particular
system.
Preference
working
in
concert
with
the
first
one
link
or
keep
stale,
so
you
have
to
kind
of
think
a
little
bit
like
well.
If
I
set
this
one
to
do
and
that
one
to
do
not,
you
know,
I
can
kind
of
help.
A
You
know
individuals
kind
of
work
through
that
process,
but
they
do
work
hand
in
hand.
So
if
we
say
let's,
let's,
let's
do
not
relink
headings
that
have
been
previously
linked.
Okay,
the
link.
Your
keep
stale
doesn't
really
come
into
play
there,
because
it's
never
going
to
look
at
that
authority
record
or
that
authority
driven
tag.
A
The
next
thing
I
I
always
get
asked
on
authority
records
is
what
links
to
what-
and
this
is
just
sort
of
a
bunch
of
numbers
that
may
not
look
like
a
whole
lot.
But
what
it
does
describe-
and
I
will
put
this
into
the
blog
post
and
also
this
particular
presentation-
will
be
available
either
recorded
at
or
as
a
link
as
well
up
on
our
website.
A
But
one
of
those
is
meeting
names
and
I
think
111
is
something
else
anyways.
You
could
look
up
the
specifics
on
what
those
are
as
far
as
the
type
of
the
type
of
information
that's
stored
in
there,
but
authority
tags
all
have
a
very
specific
format
that
denotes
what
kind
of
authority
record
it
is
and
we'll
look
at
an
example
just
now,
and
it
will
have
either
a
100,
a
110,
111,
130,
148,
150,
151
or
155.
A
Oh
and
just
in
case,
anybody
was
going
to
ask
about
siri's
information,
the
440
links
to
series
authority
records
and
I've
seen
these
linked
two
things,
and
this
would
be
something
that's
coded
into
the
the
way
the
linker
works
and
I
believe
I've
seen
it
linked
to
uniform
title.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,.
A
Okay
and
what
does
the
linking
look
like-
and
this
is
going
to
be
in
where
we
see
those
example
records,
so
this
for
those
of
y'all
who
have
never
seen
a
basic
authority
record,
is
an
example
of
a
stripped
down.
I
think
I've
taken
out
a
couple
of
fields
just
to
make
sure
it
fit
onto
the
onto
the
screen
here.
A
This
is
a
basic
authority
record.
You
can
see.
It's
got
a
similar
structure
to
a
bibliographic
record
with
a
leader,
an
001,
etc,
etc.
You'll
notice
in
here
we've
got
a
150
tag.
Okay,
so
that
150
tag
is
what's
denoting
that
this
is
a
topical
term
or
a
subject
heading
right,
and
this
is
dogmatism,
and
this
is
going
to
link
to
any
650
tags
that
have
dogmatism
in
that
in
that
structure.
A
In
that
667
tag,
you
see
here,
you'll
see
machine
generated
authority
record,
that's
how
we
can
identify
that
this
was
created
by
the
system.
I
don't
believe
this
is
one
that
was
actually
created
by
koha.
This
is
probably
one
that
was
created
by
a
legacy
system
and
then
sent
over
to
us
to
import
for
a
site.
A
A
A
This
is
where
that
link
is
stored,
and
what
we
have
here
is
is
just
a
large
number,
five,
two,
eight
six
six
seven
and
that's
the
link
to
the
authority
records
number
okay,
oops
yeah,
so
on
this
authority
record
you'll,
see
in
in
in
this
record.
It
scores
that
unique
identifier
in
the
001
tag
up
at
the
top.
So
you
see
that
001
control
number
528667,
which
is
exactly
right
here,
what
we
find
in
the
subfield
nine
five,
two,
eight
six,
six,
seven!
A
B
A
A
I
would
have
to
take
a
look
at
some
of
the
the
newer
newer
catalog
records,
if
with
those
830s,
to
see
how
they're
being
linked
and
I'd
be
happy
to
kind
of
run,
a
test
on
that.
This
was
just
a
record
that
I
ran
across
and
when
the
linker
was
written
it
was
we
were
printed
primarily
still
in
the
aacrt2
world,
and
so
it
does
not
surprise
me
that
it
may
just
be
looking
at
the
440s.
B
A
B
Okay,
so
jane,
maybe
you
can
just
elaborate
on
that
question
about
the
punctuation
in
the
1xx
fields
and
let
me
look
down
and
see
if
you
can
follow
that
up
with
some
more
info
on
your
question
and
then
there's
some
sharing
about
the
440
and
800
and
the
830.
That's
great,
thank
you
and
so
jane.
Let
me
know
if
you
have
some
more
detail
on
your
question.
A
Right
because
I
can
tell
you
from
the
matching
the
one
of
the
areas
that
will
will
trip
up
some
places
is
is
punctuation,
because
if
there
is
a
comma
over
here
in
your
bibliographic
record
and
that
comma
does
not
exist
in
your
authority
record,
those
will
not
match.
Okay,
because
that's
just
the
computer's
not
smart
enough
to
know
that
that
comma
doesn't
matter.
It
just
sees
that
it's
a
character
and
that
character
doesn't
exist
over
here,
no
match
okay.
A
So
when
we're
looking
at
matching
everything
matters
there,
it
has
to
be
exact,
but
as
far
as
when
it's
creating
those
machine
generated
records
because
they're
machine
generated
and
again
because
this
is
not
one
that
was
generated
by
koha
itself,
although
I
would
suspect
koha
would
act
very
similar.
It
probably
puts
a
period
at
the
end
of
things,
but
chances
are
when
it's
machine
generating
these
authority
records.
It's
pulling
exactly.
What's
in
that
bibliographic
subfield
and
just
creating
a
mark
authority
record
with
exactly
what
that
string
was
here.
A
A
A
With
machine
generated
authority
records,
why
they're
the
least
preferable
is
because
it's
completely
dependent
upon
the
quality
of
your
cataloging.
So
if
you
have
a
strong
faith
in
your
cataloguers,
creating
machine
generated
authority
records
is
a
great
way
to
go.
If
perhaps
they're
you
know
you're
not
so
sure
it
would
not
be
an
area
where
you
would
want
to
have
quahog,
create
those
okay
and
that's
actually
the
end
of
my
presentation.
A
So
at
this
point,
if
there
are
any
other
questions,
I
know
one
of
the
areas
we
did
not
talk
about
was
matching
authority
records
and
I
think
there
probably
are
some
libraries
that
have
some
questions
about
how
to
match
authority
records
and
the
way
that
you
match
authority
records
within
quahog
is
very
much
the
same
way
that
you
would
match
bibliographic
records.
You
set
up
a
matching
rule
and
at
the
moment
I
believe
there
are
probably
I
think
we
may
be
limited
to
two
tags.
A
Where
matching
is
really
effective
here,
and
that
would
be
that
control
number
that's
in
the
001,
because
that's
going
to
be
consistent,
but
that's
like
matching
on
your
biblio
number
and
when
you're
doing
bibliographic
imports,
and
that's
only
if
you
have
taken
out
your
authority
records,
you've,
manipulated
them
and
now
you're
putting
them
back
in,
which
is
what
we
do
sometimes
with
bibliographic
records.
If
you
do
that
with
your
authority,
records
pull
them
out,
manipulate
them
and
push
them
back
in
that
would
work.
A
C
B
So,
let's
see
here,
what
do
we
have?
We
have
looking
for
seeing
a
match
example,
but
heather,
hernandez
or
heather
yeah,
heather
hernandez,
said
she'll.
Look
for
a
match.
Example
with
terminal
punctuation
during
the
screen
showing
the
linker
options.
Our
instance
has
a
system
preference
called
catalog
module
relink.
Does
that
affect
anything.
A
C
B
B
A
Okay,
so
I'm
not
those
might
be
two
different
things
with
the
punctuation
again
we're
looking
at
it's
only
able
to
to
put
over
into
your
bib
record
if
you've
got
that
merge
set
where
you're
updating
your
bibliographic
records,
it's
only
going
to
be
taking
and
putting
there
kind
of
what
it's
found
in
the
authority
record
to
update
it
and
I'm
kind
of
wondering
if
the
dates
is
the
same
thing,
but
that's
something
I'd.
I
could
look
at
a
specific
example
if
they
had
one
on
that.
A
Basically,
here
now
work
with
me
with
queen
mary
steamship
space
pictorial
works
and
it
does
not
sound,
like
your
authority
record
lists
that
subdivision
that
of
pictorial
works
in
the
authority
record,
and
that
would
be
why
it's
not
linking
because
it's
not
an
exact
match
for
that
entire
string.
That's
found
in
that
610.
B
A
This
is
sometimes
not
what
you
want
to
do,
especially
if
you
have
a
cataloger
who's
just
going
into.
Let's
just
say
you
know
correct,
you
know,
oh,
I
forgot
to
put
subfield
in
you
know,
I'm
going
to
go
back
and
do
some
cleanup
on
records
that
act
of
opening
and
closing
is
what
is
going
to
be
kind
of
kicking
off
this
possible
relink.
C
A
Ideally,
there
should
be
a
way
for
the
for
the
linker
to
work
on
sort
of
greater
or
lesser
headings,
and
that's
not
something
I
believe
that
is
is
functional
at
the
moment.
It
wasn't
the
last
time
that
I
looked
at
that
and
that
would
be
what
would
fall
under
that
linker
option
that
you
can
see
here
on
my
screen.
The
linker
system
preferences
the
linker
options,
that's
what
we
would
consider
broader
headings,
and
so
it
would
look
at
your
authority,
records
and
say:
oh,
I
see
you
have
a
queen
mary.
A
Oh,
I
have
a
queen
mary
over
here
in
the
650a
and
the
150a
authority
record.
My
650a
has
an
x,
so
it
doesn't
match
if
the
broader
headings
system
was
working,
it
would
remove
that
x
and
say:
okay
now,
I'm
looking
at
a
650a
queen
mary
pictorial
works.
Oh
now
I
match,
so
I'm
going
to
link
that
up
so
heather.
That
would
be
something
that
I
would
love
to.
A
We
could
try
that
on
your
system,
but
I
wouldn't
want
to
relink
all
of
your
stuff,
and
so
that's
something
where
we
would
want
to
sort
of
find
a
another
site
to
to
run
some
tests
on
that.
If
you
would
be
interested
in
that
and
if
you
liked
the
way
that
that
worked,
I'd
have
to
go
look
to
see
if
there
were
some
outstanding
issues.
B
A
A
So
heather
just
so,
you
know
I'm
happy
to
do
this.
We
I
have
to
wait
until
I've
got
something
running
on
my
test
system
at
the
moment,
but
once
that's
kind
of
off,
which
would
be
something
middle
of
september.
We
can
look
at
kind
of
taking
a
copy
of
your
data
and
playing
around
with
that
there,
and
then
we
could
also,
maybe
I
know,
you're
excited
about
the
linked
data.
That
might
be
a
good
opportunity
to
include
some
of
that
work
as
well
in
there.
B
A
B
A
Because
that
was
a
site
and
I
guess
I
could
follow
up
with
one
or
two
other
cataloguers
there,
but
this
was
a
site
who
was
using
the
broader
headings
and
for
them
it
did
not
work
kind
of
in
the
way
that
they
really
wanted
it
to
work.
Although
I
think
you
know
for
me,
it
looked
like
it
was
working
as
expected,
but
for
them
and
they
being
the
experts
in
the
catalog,
they
were
not
happy
with
some
of
the
the
results
that
came
out
of
that.
B
A
Again
here
we
kind
of
get
back
to
the
issue
when
we're.
When
we
talk
about
deduping
authority
records,
it's
kind
of
like
overlaying
authority
records
in
a
way
we
have
to
find
a
good
match
for
that,
and
so,
if
we
have
a
match
for
that,
we
can.
We
can
look
at
merging
those
authority
records
and
that
would
be
based
on
that
0-1-0
field.
A
And
then
I
guess
we
would
obviously
then
assume
have
to
either
assume
that
that
meant
that
that
was
correct
and
that
the
100
tag
was
accurate
and
that
these
authority
records
were
correct
and
accurate,
or
we
would
have
to
be
looking
at.
Let's
merge
based
on
just
the
100
and
then
we
would
have
to
run
it.
What
you
know,
eight
or
nine
times
based
on
110s
111s
130s,
so
multiple
passes
over
the
authorities
database.
A
Another
way
to
get
rid
of
authority
records
that
you
don't
want
is
to
just
run
the
the
linker
or
make
sure
that
you're
linking
your
bibs
to
your
authority
records.
What
will
happen
is
that
everything
that
matches
in
your
system
will
find
its
match
and
then
be
linked.
We
can
go
in
and
say:
okay
anything
now,
that's
an
unused
authority
record
anything
that
is
not
currently
linked
to
a
bibliographic
authority
driven
tag.
A
A
B
Okay
comment:
conjuring
is
a
450
c
from
two
magic
tricks
in
the
150
of
the
authority
record
right:
okay,
okay,
then
we
have
a
little
example
there.
I
see
a
couple
questions
I'm
going
to
try
to
gather
them
all,
but
I
do
want
to
ask
this
question:
that's
coming
from
lee
at
marywood
any
advice
on
adding
authorities
from
the
ground
up.
Our
catalog
hasn't
used
authority
records
on
our
previous
ils.
So
now
we
have
to
start
from
scratch.
A
Right,
so
I
think
your
two
best
options
are
to
get
a
vendor
to
provide
you
with
authority
records
and
if
that's
would
be,
if
you
wanted
really
fleshed
out
fully
done
authority
records.
If
you
want
just
to
know
what
subject
headings
you're
working
with
or
what
names
you're
working
with,
and
you
just
sort
of
want
to
get
an
overlay
you
could
run,
you
could
have
us
run
the
linker
script
with
the
settings
sets
that
you
will
auto
create
authority
records.
A
So
when
that
when
the
the
linker
goes
through,
it's
going
to
find
a
bit
it's
going
to
open
the
record,
find
that
term
say
no
authority
record,
create
the
authority
record
link,
it
save
your
bib,
and
so
you
would
get
you
know
900
000,
depending
on
the
size
of
your
collection.
You
know
authority
records
kind
of
overnight
that
actually
might
take
a
little
time
to
run
depending
on
the
size
of
your
collection.
But
that
would
be
one
way
you
could
get
machine
generated
authority
records
very
quickly.
A
That's
a
really
good
question.
I
know
I
can
go
and
delete
them
pretty
easily.
So
if
I
can
delete
them,
I
should
be
able
to
find
them
pretty
easily
whether
or
not
there's
an
existing
report.
I
don't
I'm
that
I'm
not
sure
about,
but
if
anybody
has
that
that
question,
I
think
typically
the
way
that
I
handle.
That
is,
if
somebody
wants
to
remove
them.
A
A
B
B
A
I
don't
know
that
I
would
go
that
far,
but
there
are
limitations,
yes
and
that's
kind
of
across
the
board.
With
you
know
other
systems
as
well.
So
yes,
the
authority
records
are
not
aren't
perfect,
you
don't
get
the
fullest
extent
of
the
potential
that's
held
in
them.
However,
authority
records
are
great
for
standardizing
the
authorized
values
in
those
particular
fields
across
your
collection
and
they
do
provide
some
ability
for
you
to
you
know.
A
A
B
D
A
Yeah,
so
this
is
actually
stuff
that
we've
I've
actually
kind
of
backtracked
a
little
bit
in
it,
so
we've
actually
gone
through
the
whole
thing.
But
just
so
you
know
that
the
presentation
and
I'll
write
a
blog
post
that
will
be
up
and
there
is
a
recording,
so
you
can
watch
it
all
in
its
entirety
a
little
bit
later.
A
But
one
of
the
questions
that
came
up
was
about-
and
you
can
actually
see
on.
This
screen
is
one
of
the
linker
options,
which
is
the
broader
headings,
and
I
know
you
were
one
of
the
few
sites
where
I've
actually
run
that
link
or
option
of
broader
headings.
I
remember
it
was
going
then,
and
looking
at
simply
just
that
first
subfield
in
that
authority
tag
and
not
looking
at
those,
and
there
was
a
reason
that
you
all
didn't
like
that.
D
Well,
we
we
wanted
it
to
link
on
the
subdivisions.
I
think
we
were
under
the
impression
that
it
wasn't
really
working.
So
we
went
to
the
broader
because
at
least
it
would
sync
up
in
the
opec
with
the
correct
number
of
titles,
and
we
like
that
when
we
tried
to
do
it
I'll
just
use
the
example
of
you
know:
asia,
you
know
and
then
maybe
a
time
frame.
D
A
Right
and
I
think
you're
we
have
that
a
little
bit
just
to
clarify
headings
is
actually
where
it
goes
a
lot
more
vague
when
you're
looking
at
asia
in
you
know
a
time
period
with
the
broader
headings.
If
it
didn't
find
that
asia
time
period,
it
went
it
just
linked
to
asia.
So
that's
sort
of
the
downside
to
working
with
those
broader
headings
is
that
you
end
up
with
a
tribe
somebody
doing
a
search
and
then
just
getting
overwhelmed.
A
So
I
I
think
that
that's
why
we
recommend
to
people.
You
know,
let's
you
know,
don't
use
the
the
broader
headings,
we'll
just
stick
with
the
default,
which
is
going
to
be
an
exact
match,
and
that's
why
heather?
I
say
you
know
look
we
should
want
to.
We
want
to
test
this
on
your
system
before
you
decide
that
this
is
something
that
you
really
want
to
do,
because
going
to
those
broader
headings,
the
way
that
it
should
work
is
that
it
should
take.
A
If
you
have
a
subject
heading
in
there
with
10
subdivisions,
if
it
doesn't
find
a
match
for
that
a
and
then
those
nine
subdivisions
should
just
start
knocking
off
that
last
subdivision,
one
at
a
time
until
it
finds
a
match
and
and
if
it
works
that
way,
that
would
be
ideal
because
then
you
would
say:
okay,
it
matches
queen
mary,
it
doesn't
match
the
queen,
mary
pictorial
works
and
you
would
still
get
a
a
a
valid
link.
So
that's
something
I
think
partly
comes
down
to
preference.
D
The
big
thing
that
I
would
just
interject
is,
you
know
we
really
didn't
know
and
we
migrated
what
we
were
doing
with
our
system
preferences.
You
know
for
people
coming
just
coming
on
to
koha,
maybe
explaining
what
these
preferences
really
do
versus
what
you
have.
You
know
what
your
authorities
look
like
and
then
what
else
kind
of
confounded
us
is.
A
I
would
agree-
and
I
think
those
are
really
great
points-
and
one
of
the
things
that
we've
started
doing
with
sites
that
are
migrating
is
actually
linking
their
authority
records
at
the
time
of
migration,
which
is
not
something
we
had
done
in
the
past,
and
I
think
it
gives
people
an
idea,
then
to
see-
and
you
see
firsthand
how
these
things
are
linking
up
and
how
those
systems
allows
people
to
ask
a
lot
more
detailed
questions
to
get
the
things
set
up.
The
way
that
they
want.
So
you.
D
A
Well,
I
guess
therein
lies
the
rub.
It's
it's
a
matter
of
finding
them
right.
So
let
me
see
that
question
it.
This
is
an
issue
of
of
how
inconsistent
are
the
inconsistencies,
because
you
could
run
queries
if
it
was
just
a
slight
misspelling
in
the
middle
of
a
word.
You
could
say
all
right
go
find
like
jk
rowling,
maybe
they've
spelt
that
you
know.
For
some
reason,
the
last
name
got
spelt
with
two
l's.
A
A
So
I
don't
want
to
ignore
heather.
I
know
she's
put
in
some
information
in
here
about
those
450
texts.
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
a
little
bit
later
is
go.
Take
a
look
at
some
of
these
examples
that
she's
put
in
there
and
I'll
flesh
out
the
blog
post
with
a
little
bit
of
information
on
what
kind
of
behavior
she's.
Seeing
from
that.
So
you
all
will
have
that.
B
B
A
C
B
Otherwise,
I
think
we've
pretty
much
gathered
up
all
this.
You
know
more
specific
questions
and
we're
about
two
minutes
away
from
the
top
of
the
hour.
So
I
know
this
couldn't
possibly
answer
every
question
about
authorities,
but
but
thank
you
so
much
for
what
you've
been
able
to
talk
about
today.
Joy,
oh.
B
Thank
you,
everyone
and
the
webinar
will
be
ending
in
a
moment.
Sorry,
if
we
didn't
get
to
every
single
thing
that
you
might
have
typed
in
the
chat
but,
like
I
said
and
joy
said,
there
will
be
a
follow-up
and
this
was
recorded,
so
you
can
watch
this
again
or
share
with
your
staff.
So
thanks
maybe
enough
interest
for
authorities.
Part
two,
I
don't
know
I'll-
have
to
I'll
talk,
joy
and
and
see
if
she,
if
she
was
willing
to
do
authorities
part
two.
So
I
know
it's
a
big
area.
So
thank
you.
