3 The tag tables for the web staff client MARC editor are
4 now stored in the database rather than a separate XML
5 tooltips file as used by the XUL MARC editor. The tag-table
6 service, which is part of the web staff client sprint 2
7 preview in this release, has the following features:
9 - specifies whether (sub)fields are optional or mandatory
10 - specifies whether (sub)fields are repeatable or not
11 - a coded value map can be associated with a subfield to
12 establish a controlled vocabulary for that subfield
13 - MARC field and subfield definitions can be overridden
14 by institutions further down in the organizational unit
15 hierarchy. This allows, for example, a library to specify
16 definitions for local MARC tags.
17 - values supplied by the tag-table service are used to
18 populate values in context menus in the web staff client
21 The initial seed data for the in-database tag table is
22 derived from the current tooltips XML file.
