Authority Vocabularies in the Community Zone

Jobs Related to Authority Records

• Authorities - Link BIB Headings – This job searches all authority (and local authority, if enabled by Ex Libris Support) record fields, including subdivision fields, for complete terms listed in bibliographic records (giving priority to local authorities, if enabled). If exact matches are found, the bibliographic records are linked to the corresponding authority records.If exact matches are not found, a search of all authority records is performed once again but the subdivision fields are disregarded, and the bibliographic records are linked to the matching authority records that are located during the second search. On a subsequent run of the Authorities – Link BIB Headings job, a bibliographic record that was linked to an authority record without subdivision fields may be re-linked to a better matching authority record (with subdivision fields). If a match is found on the main part of the heading, the subdivisions are still retained in the bib record. For MARC 21, partial matching for subdivisions is done on $v $x $y $z in 6XX fields. For UNIMARC and CNMARC, partial matching for subdivisions is done on $$j, x, y, z ,on fields 410, 600, 601, 602, 605, 606, 607, 610, 616, 617, 620, 675, 680, 711, 713, 730, 740, 741, 742.
  Over time, you may have local authority records that you've created that subsequently become available as Community Zone authority records. When these records are added to the Community Zone, nothing happens to the records attached to your local authority records. The local authority records will still be local without any connection to the Community Zone. A bibliographic record that is already linked to your local authority record will not have its link switched to the Community Zone authority record.

  However, when the authority records that are the same as your local authority records are added to the Community Zone, you can choose to delete the local authority records. If you choose to delete the local authority records, all the headings will be linked to the Community Zone authority record with the same preferred term (1XX field) by Alma's nightly linking job.
  For CJK content, bibliographic records are linked to authority records based on CJK content (not transliterated Latin content).
• Authorities - Preferred Term Correction – This job performs preferred term correction on all bibliographic records that are linked to authority records using the Authorities - Link BIB Headings job. For example, if a bibliographic record contains the non-preferred term 'Narcotics, Control of,' and the associated authority record contains the preferred term 'Drug control,' the Authorities – Preferred Term Correction job replaces 'Narcotics, Control of' with the preferred term 'Drug control.' Bibliographic records are also updated with any subsequent updates to authority records. If there were any failed records in the job's run, the job handles them in its next run.
  This job is disabled by default. To enable it, set the disable_preferred_term_correction_job parameter (see Configuring Other Settings (Resource Management)) to false. Subsequently, view the Scheduled tab of the Monitor Jobs page (see Viewing Scheduled Jobs) and confirm that the Authorities - Preferred Term Correction job is active.
  The Authorities - Preferred Term Correction job does not handle preferred term correction on migrated bibliographic records retroactively. Since migrated bibliographic records may be linked to authorities in Alma, any change (to the bibliographic record authorized fields, or to the authority record in the Community Zone to which the bibliographic record is linked) that occurs in Alma after the record is initially migrated, triggers future preferred term corrections on the records after the Authorities - Preferred Term Correction job is enabled.

Alma-Based Authority Management

Alma supports Alma-based authority management. For an institution that manages local authority records and publishes them to the Community Zone, there is the option to have the Alma community contribute to these authority records (like the National Library of Israel (NLI) implementation). If you are an institution that 1) currently manages an authority file locally, 2) publishes it to the Community Zone, and 3) wants to have other authorized members of the Alma community contribute changes to this authority file, contact Ex Libris to analyze the feasibility of your request. If your authority requirements match the criteria for this functionality, Ex Libris will work with you to implement this capability. See Working with NLI Integrated Authority Records for more information.

Adding a Local Authority Definition

• In order to use local authorities in Alma, an Ex Libris representative must enable the local authority functionality for your institution.
• Unless you have configured authority priorities for your system (see Resource Management - November 2016 Enhancements for information on this feature), multiple subject authorities can be used by Alma, but only one type of names authority can be used (global or local). For example, if Alma is defined to use LCNAMES, it cannot also use GND names authorities.

  However, if Alma is defined to use LCNAMES, you can also maintain a local LCNAMES authority and use it. But you cannot use a local authority that is not LCNAMES. In this case, only one type is being used both as a local and a global authority.

  Given these considerations, you should define only one type of Name or Names and Subjects local vocabulary.

  For information on the code to be used for the defined names authority, see the Code entry in the Add Local Authority dialog box below.

Note that when you add a local authority configuration, if you want to use the functionality provided by the Language Configuration option, you first need to contact Support to configure that capability for your system.

1. On the Metadata Configuration List page (Configuration Menu > Resources > Cataloging > Metadata Configuration), select Add Local Authority. The Add Local Authority dialog box appears.
2. Complete the information in the Add Local Authority dialog box (see the table below for more information).

   Parameter	Description
   Name	Enter a name to identify this local authority. This name appears in the Vocabulary Name column.
   Code	Enter an identifying code for this local authority that appears in the Code column in the Authority Vocabularies section on the Metadata Configuration List page and the Vocabulary code drop-down list on the Import Profile Details page for authority profiles. If the authority indication is in the bibliographic record's second indicator 7, subfield 2, the code must match what is in this subfield 2. This is relevant for Subject and Names and Subjects types of local authorities. For the Name type of local authority (see the note above, at the beginning of this section), the code must match the authority_names customer parameter value that was entered for your institution by Ex Libris staff. If you are unsure of the defined value for this parameter (the default for which is LCNAMES), contact an Ex Libris representative.
   Type	Select from the following options available in the drop-down list: Subject Name Names and subjects Classification No more than one name type of local vocabulary should be created.
   Direct ID Prefix	Enter one or more prefixes in this field to be used for bibliographic to authority record matching and linking when there are multiple $0 entries (or $3 in UNIMARC or CNMARC records). For more information, see Authority Control Based on Multiple Authority Identifiers in a Bibliographic Record and Using Originating System IDs for Linking Bibliographic Records to Authority Records. The prefix must be entered with parentheses surrounding it. If more than one prefix is required, separate them by commas. For example: (CCL1),(CCL2),(CCL3). Notice that there are no spaces separating these entries. The maximum number of characters for this field is 255. The sequence in which you enter the prefixes determines the priority order in which they are evaluated for a match when there are multiple 035 entries in the authority record to match against. For Community Zone managed authority records, the Direct ID Prefix needs to be configured by Ex Libris. For example, the DE-588 Direct Prefix ID used in the GND (German National Library Names and Subjects) records is configured at the Community Zone level.
   Family	Select the cataloging standard (such as MARC 21, UNIMARC, or CNMARC) that you plan to use for entering the local authority records with this profile. This name displays in the Family column.
   Multilingual	Select Yes from the drop-down list to indicate that the authority record may contain multiple language entries. See step 4 below for more information. For Community Zone managed authority records, the Multilingual parameter (and its associated components, Language Configuration and Allow multi preferred terms) needs to be configured by Ex Libris at the Community Zone level. See Working with Multilingual Authority Records for more information.
   Description	Use this option to more fully identify the local authority that you are creating.

3. Select Add and Close. The local authority configuration that you created appears in the Authority Vocabularies section of the Metadata Configuration List page.
4. (Optional) If you selected Yes for the Multilingual option above, select the Edit row action for the local vocabulary that you created in the steps above and complete configuring the local vocabulary using the information provided in the table below.

   Parameter	Description
   Language Configuration This is only available for multilingual authorities. If you want to use the functionality provided by the Language Configuration option, you first need to contact Support to configure this capability for your system.	This button appears when you select Yes for the Multilingual parameter. Select the Language Configuration button to open the Language Code mapping table. This configuration defines all the possible languages that are defined in the authority records. With this mapping table, when no language is specified in $9 of the bibliographic record, the system looks for an authority heading with text that matches exactly to the text in the bibliographic field. The system will look for a match in each language in the order defined in the Order column of the configuration. See the example below. In this example, if an exact text match is found in Chinese, the link is created between the bibliographic and authority record and $9 with the correct language is added when the preferred-term correction is done. If no Chinese text match is found, the system continues to look for an exact text match using the next language in numeric order as specified in the Order column of the mapping table. If no text match is found and the end of the list is reached, no link is made. Notice, in this example, that an empty Language Code setting in the mapping table is a valid option. Language Code Mapping Table Select Add Row and enter Vocabulary Code, Language Name, Language Code, and Order. Note that the language code entries are free-text fields. Add these based on the codes that the authority file uses. Select Add Row to add these settings to your Language Code mapping table. In addition to local authority records, this capability is also available for global authority records when Ex Libris configures the Multilingual parameter in the Community Zone. This feature is only relevant for multilingual authorities where the matching is done by text and not by ID. See Working with Multilingual Authority Records for more information.
   Allow multi preferred terms	This parameter appears when you select Yes for the Multilingual parameter. Use this option to set the record validation in Alma for accepting multilingual authority records with multiple preferred terms when the same language is identified in $9. Multiple Preferred Terms with the Same $9 (Authority Record) If Allow multi preferred terms is not selected, a warning or block validation occurs for multilingual authority records with multiple preferred terms and the same language is identified in $9. See Subfield 9 with the Same Language Code for more information. Use this option to set the record validation in Alma for accepting multilingual authority records with multiple preferred terms when there is no $9 specified. With Allow multi preferred terms selected, the MARC 21 Auth validation on save process will allow records without $9 specified. See Working with Validation Exception Profiles for more information. MARC 21 Auth validation on save Process See Working with Multilingual Authority Records for more information. Creo pro 2 0 4.

Creating Local Authority Records

• Using the MD Editor (see Creating Local Authority Records Using the MD Editor)
• Using an import profile (see Managing Import Profiles)

• To use local authorities in Alma, Ex Libris Support/your Ex Libris Professional Services representative must enable local authority functionality for your institution.
• To create a local authority record (either via the MD Editor or via an import profile) for authority vocabulary that exists in the Community Zone, you must first create this local authority (vocabulary) in your institution (if it does not already exist). For example, if the Community Zone has a defined authority (vocabulary) for REO, but is missing a specific authority record that you want to create locally, ensure that the local authority (vocabulary) for REO exists in your institution before you create the authority record locally. For information on creating local authorities (vocabulary), see Adding a Local Authority Definition.
• You can delete local authorities using the Delete Local Authority Records job – see Delete Local Authority Records.
• Unless you have configured authority priorities for your system (see Resource Management - November 2016 Enhancements for information on this feature), multiple subject authorities can be used by Alma, but only one type of names authority can be used. For example, if Alma is defined to use LCNAMES, it cannot also use GND names authorities. For more information, see Adding a Local Authority Definition.

Creating Local Authority Records Using the MD Editor

1. Open the MD Editor.
2. Select File > New and select from the list of local vocabularies that have been created/implemented for your system (see Adding a Local Authority Definition or, if the local authority vocabulary is an extension of a global one, it appears here automatically as an option with no predefinition required), such as:
   • (local) Library of Congress Subject Headings
   • (local) Library of Congress name authority records
   • (local) U.S. National Library of Medicine, Medical Subject Headings 2013
   • (local) German National Library of Names and Subject Headings
   For members in a Network configured for creating local authority records, the File > New menu options display authorities with both the Institution and Network icons to distinguish where the record you are creating will be stored (at the Institution level or the Network level).
3. Choose a template (see Working with Record Templates) and enter the authority record data/terms.
4. If the system identifies another record in the Alma repository with duplicate headings content, it presents a confirmation pop-up message. You need to select Yes or No to indicate how to handle the duplicate. If you select Yes, the duplicate information is presented for you to view and/or edit.

   Duplicating Handling Confirmation

   After the record is saved, you can view the record you entered using an Authorities search. You can create a bibliographic record that uses the local authority record/terms that you created/saved. Preferred terms are marked with a star. (Note that if you select a non-preferred term, the MD Editor automatically populates the bibliographic record with the preferred term.)

Editing Bibliographic Records with F3

Headings from Bibliographic Records Tab

• When the 'Show authorized headings' checkbox is clear, then upon pressing F3 the Bibliographic Headings tab shows only unauthorized headings. Unauthorized headings appear in the list without an icon.
• When the checkbox is selected, all bibliographic headings are displayed for the vocabulary of the bibliographic field. If there are several vocabularies defined for the field, the list includes bibliographic headings linked to all of them. Authorized headings have the binocular icon next to them. This indicates which headings are authorized and the type of authorization (full or partial).

Note that the heading of the currently edited record does not appear in this list - only headings from other bib records appear. If no match is found in Headings from bibliographic records when F3 is pressed, the list of results is presented with no indication of relative placement as with the authority vocabularies that indicate Your entry would be here.

The View and Select buttons in the authority headings list work as previously described on this page. See the Viewing and Linking to an Authority Record and Viewing Bibliographic Records Linked or Available for a Suggested Authority Record sections for more information.

751 Field

When you use F3 in the 751 field, names headings and subject headings are presented in the authority headings results. With this implementation of F3 for the 751 field, subject headings results are presented in addition to names headings results, when a second indicator is cataloged in the bibliographic record. If no second indicator is specified, only names headings results appear in the F3 results.

The 751 field can also be linked to names headings and subject headings depending on how you have cataloged the record.

This implementation of F3 does not affect the options presented in Browse Bibliographic Headings (Resources > Cataloging > Browse Bibliographic Headings).

• When F3 is used (from the appropriate bibliographic fields) in the MD Editor to display a list of headings, the headings list is displayed as follows:
  • If there is a language code (specified in the MARC 21 $9 or the UNIMARC $7) in the bibliographic record, only the headings that match the language appear.
  • If there is no language code specified in the bibliographic record, all of the matching headings in all languages are displayed. The language code in the authority/bibliographic headings records is ignored.
• Validation of records is handled in the following manner:
  • For authority records, Alma checks for the Multilingual setting. If the Multilingual setting is No, only one preferred field is allowed in the MARC 21 1XX or the UNIMARC 2XX. If the Multilingual setting is Yes and there is more than one preferred term, Alma checks for a language indication in the MARC 21 $9 or the UNIMARC $7, positions 5 and 6.
  • For bibliographic records, validation of $9 has been enhanced to include $9 in the fields specified in the table below.

• Publishing to Primo enriches the bibliographic records with the preferred, non-preferred, and related terms of all languages.

Handling of Multiple Preferred Terms with the Same Language

When you are doing preferred-term correction from the MD Editor using F3 in an authority controlled field of a bibliographic record, and you select a non-preferred term, the system checks for a preferred term to link to; if it finds multiple preferred terms with the same language, the system prompts you to select which preferred term to use. See the example below.

After selecting the preferred term, the system updates the bibliographic record in the MD Editor with the preferred term that you selected and identifies it with the binoculars icon indicating that the field is showing the preferred term for that authority controlled field.

Subfield 9 with the Same Language Code

With the appropriate configuration, Alma enables saving a multilingual authority that has multiple preferred terms with the same language code in subfield 9 without a validation warning or block. See Allow multi preferred terms for more information.

When the Authorities – Preferred Term Correction job is run and it finds multiple preferred terms with the same language code in subfield 9, the bibliographic record is not corrected and the following message is reported in the Authority Control Task List:

Ex Libris 9 0 1 – A Library Database Online Training

Preferred Term Correction – Multiple preferred terms with the same language found

For these records, use the Authority Control Task List (see Using the Authority Control Task List) and make the changes manually. Use the Preferred Term Correction – Multiple preferred terms with the same language found Action option in the Authority Control Task List to locate these tasks.

No Subfield 9 Specified

Authority records with no $9 can be processed in Alma. Specific validation and preferred-term correction processes have been implemented to handle these cases. See Validation with No Subfield 9 and Preferred-Term Correction with No Subfield 9 for more information.

Validation with No Subfield 9

With the appropriate configuration, Alma enables saving a multilingual authority that has no $9 without a validation warning or block when using the MARC 21 Auth validation on save process. See Allow multi preferred terms for more information.

Preferred-Term Correction with No Subfield 9

If a field in a bibliograhic record is linked to a non-preferred term that has no subfield 9, the system attempts to identify a preferred term with no subfield 9 and uses that preferred term to correct the bibliographic record. If no such preferred term is found, the bibliographic record is not corrected; and it is reported in the Authority Control Task List (see Using the Authority Control Task List). See the example below in green.

Display of Authority Search Results with Multiple Preferred Terms

When there is more that one preferred term in an authority record, each preferred term appears in the Authorities search results. See below for an example.

Preferred Term Correction for ID Linked Bibliographic Records with No Language Indication

When bibliographic record linking (to authority records) is done by ID, preferred term correction is completed for cases where there is no language indication in the bibliographic record and multiple preferred term options exist due to multilingual differences. As part of the preferred term correction process, the language indication in addition to the preferred term is copied to the bibliographic record. For MARC 21, the language indication is copied to $9; and for UNIMARC, it is copied to $7 positions 0-1.

Updating the Authority Record ID Automatically in Bibliographic Records

Processing Automatic ID Changes

1. New authority records with authority record ID changes are loaded into the Community Zone. The new authority records that are replacing existing authority records in the Community Zone have the new authority record ID stored in the 035 $a, and the previous authority record ID is stored in the 035 $z.
   There may be more than one previous record ID and, therefore, multiple 035 $z entries in a single authority record. In the example below, the (DE-588) entries are highlighted because (DE-588) is identified as the Direct ID Prefix in the Metadata Configuration List.
   New Authority Record ID in the 035 $a
2. The following scheduled jobs update the bibliographic records:
   • Synchronize Changes from CZ (and/or Authorities – Handle Local Authority Record Updates for local authority records)
     The Synchronize Changes from CZ job updates $0 in the bibliographic record and performs relinking to the authority record in the Community Zone.
     The Authorities – Handle Local Authority Record Updates job updates $0 in the bibliographic record and performs relinking for local authority records.
   • The Authorities – Preferred Term Correction job updates the bibliographic records with the new preferred terms based on the new authority record for both Community Zone linked records and local authority-linked records (when local authorities have been implemented).
   See the Viewing Scheduled Jobs page for more information.
3. Changes are identified in the Authority Control Task List. See Reporting in the Authority Control Task List (below) for more information.

Reporting in the Authority Control Task List

• Old authority record ID pulled from the authority record's 035 $z
• New authority record ID pulled from the authority record's 035 $a
