Conversion updates based on specifications v2.4. See the Library of Congress’s BIBFRAME site for more details. Specifications are included in the distribution in the spec directory. Changes of note:

  • Placement of title non-filing indicator values in new bflc property "nonSortNum."
  • All bytes from the MARC 007 field are now mapped to the BIBFRAME Instance.
  • MARC 856 fields will create BIBFRAME Instances instead of BIBFRAME Items.
  • Splitting of a single MARC record with multiple 007, 300 and 856 fields into multiple records - one for each iteration of the resource – which creates multiple Instances linked to a Work. The split occurs as a preprocessing step documented in the new "Preprocess 0" spec.
  • The Instances created via the splitting process are given the rdf:type "bflc:SecondaryInstance."

See the NEWS file and the updated specifications for full details of changes. Changes from v2.3.0 in the specifications are marked in red.
