Hi Stuart, I made some experiments with the innz-metadata in J-ISIS software, and you may be interested to read the summary which is attached. Thank you for informing the CODE4LIB list about the innz-metadata dataset, this is very useful for testing and improving J-ISIS. But now, I would like to see if it's easy to do what you wish to achieve with J-ISIS. Please excuse my ignorance, but could you please explain on which MARC fields or subfields you wish to extract the person authorities and explain me what are the sundry metadata and how they are related to MARC records. I googled about "sundry metadata" but didn't found any satisfactory information Best wishes, Jean-Claude On Mon, Nov 3, 2014 at 4:24 PM, Brian Kennison <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > On Nov 2, 2014, at 9:29 PM, Stuart Yeates <[log in to unmask]<mailto: > [log in to unmask]>> wrote: > > Do any of these have built-in indexing? 800k records isn't going to fit in > memory and if building my own MARC indexer is 'relatively straightforward' > then you're a better coder than I am. > > > > I think the XMLDB idea is the way to go but I’d use Basex ( > http://basex.org).
