11:16 BAMkubasa received a questions from a library school student. Evergreen's metadata schema is MODs, right? Is it possible to implement other metadata schemas with Evergreen?
11:17 Dyrcona BAMkubasa: Mostly MODS. Plain xpath is used for some things. It's software so it's possible to do nearly anything if you write the code.
11:18 BAMkubasa thanks!
11:19 berick hm, our main metadata schema is MARC.  MODS is used in some places for extracting specific bits of information.
11:20 BAMkubasa ok
11:20 * Dyrcona assumed MARC is one of the main data schemes, not metadata, but suppose we could argue about that.
11:22 Dyrcona But, we do use MODS for indexing and a good bit of display in the OPAC. It would be easier to add a new schema if you can represent it with XSLT.
11:22 BAMkubasa so, xpath is a tool/language used to interrogate xml (or structured data?), and the xml would be the thing that would have the schema if I'm remembering how these things interact correctly?
11:24 Dyrcona So, we mostly use XSLT to convert from MARC to MODS. Some index and display fields forego the use of the MODS transforms and have a XPATH expression to extract the needed data from the MARC.
11:25 Dyrcona It's easy to add new fields with XPATH. For instance if there is some RDA field you want to extract from MARC.
11:25 Bmagic BAMkubasa: I end up referencing config.xml_transform which is a straight copy from LoC (right?)
11:26 Dyrcona I guess a more appropriate question is what is the student trying to do? Add Bibframe or something like that?
11:26 BAMkubasa Don't know, they asked theirlocal librarian, who asked me
11:26 Dyrcona Bmagic: Almost a straight copy. We've modified one or two of the transforms in the past.
11:27 Bmagic I've resorted to eding those templates too. I'm not sure if I have a copy of an Evergreen database with tweaks anymore though
11:27 Dyrcona Adding a new schema for bib records would be a big deal, i.e. a lot of work. If you have some other format that you could convert from MARC via XSLT, that would be easier.
11:27 Bmagic I think it was to include more tags for the keyword index (before the feature was added to Evergreen, making that easier)
11:28 Dyrcona Bmagic: By "we," i meant the Evergreen community/developers. Not all of the transforms are strictly stock from LoC. I also think we sometimes fall behind LoC changes to the canonical set.
11:30 Bmagic right on
11:30 Dyrcona I wans't sure based on your reply.
11:31 BAMkubasa well, thanks Dyrcona and the one called Bmagic (you too berick)
11:31 Bmagic Back atcha the one called BAMkubasa
11:40 Dyrcona Bummer. Thought we were already running some code in production, but its not in my local copy of the branch. I suppose I could check the SIP servers. Maybe I only applied it there?
11:41 Dyrcona Not there....
11:43 * Dyrcona is cleaning up local branches.
11:43 Dyrcona Also, leaving at noon today.
11:49 Dyrcona It would be nice if the Lp bugs view could be sorted by recently updated.
11:53 mmorgan Dyrcona: LP can sort by Date last updated if the column is turned on.
11:57 Dyrcona mmorgan++
11:57 Dyrcona I totally ignored the presence of the gear icon.
11:58 * mmorgan also did for quite some time :)
12:01 Dyrcona It's kind of inconspicuous and settings are usually on the right, not left.
12:01 Dyrcona Anyway, I'm calling it a day. Be back tomorrow.

16:59 mmorgan Bmagic: Is it possible that bugsquash.mobiusconsortium.org is missing the patch for bug 1980887? We're not seeing the shelving location populate in the interfaces mentioned.
16:59 pinesol Launchpad bug 1980887 in Evergreen 3.8 "Angular shelving location selector broken in several interfaces" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1980887
17:00 Bmagic I'll take a look
17:01 Bmagic mmorgan: I don't show that I merged that one on my server
17:01 Bmagic Is it on the spreadsheet that I did?
17:02 Bmagic oh, it's on master, bugsquash's base was 3.9
17:03 Bmagic does that mess up the testing?
17:03 mmorgan Bmagic: It's in master. https://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.git;a=​commit;h=fc0ce105a7baeee24fc0106396b5cedefff48b7a
