Background: MARC authority app is an app created with the Lotus release. As increasing number of libraries use MARC authority app, a.) requirements change (i.e. updates to Browse options and Search options) and b.) the app is enhanced with functionality such as the Authority source file facet. We should assume that additional changes will be made to this app in the area of new facets/filters/search options/browse options and in support of authority linking. Problem: Some changes to the MARC authority app require changes to the MARC authority mapping rules (PUT /mapping-rules/marc-authority/) - https://github.com/folio-org/mod-source-record-manager/blob/master/RuleProcessorApi.md Changes to mapping rules only impact 1.) Records created after the rules change 2.) Records updated after the rules change Therefore existing authority records not updated, ignore the updated mapping rules. As a result, users have a poor user experience with MARC authority app. Users also perceive that the app has poor data quality. Currently the library is left with two options: 1.) Delete the entire authority record database and re-load 2.) Update all authority records by using data import (manually). Both options are painful and frustrating to users and will not be sustainable once we rollout authority linking. 3.) option is run a script - https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/display/FOLIJET/MODDATAIMP-669%3A+Script+to+refresh+Authorities+against+an+updated+MARC-Authority+map that is essentially kicking off a data import > update Also if a library adds another Authority source file then there is no good way to update authority records that may have that prefix/code - https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/display/FOLIJET/Managing+Authority+source+files |
