kados |
thd: what's up> |
| 20:38 |
|
kados |
thd: I'm super busy as usual ;-) |
| 20:39 |
|
thd |
kados: you need Automate::Proposal :) |
| 20:39 |
|
kados |
hehe ... not writing proposals this time |
| 20:41 |
|
thd |
kados: do you have your submission for the forthcoming issue of Computers in Libraries? |
| 20:43 |
|
kados |
i don't really understand the question |
| 20:43 |
|
kados |
I submitted answers to a questionair |
| 20:44 |
|
kados |
koha will be reviewed alongside other ILSes in the next edition |
| 20:44 |
|
kados |
that's all I know ;-) |
| 20:44 |
|
kados |
I don't subscribe to CIL myself |
| 20:44 |
|
thd |
kados: exactly, I thought the questionare and your answers might help guide me in preparing a Koha features list for koha.org. |
| 20:45 |
|
kados |
well ... probably :-) except i don't have the url ;-) |
| 20:45 |
|
thd |
kados: you completed it online? |
| 20:45 |
|
kados |
yep |
| 20:46 |
|
thd |
do you have an email invitation archived? |
| 20:50 |
|
thd |
kados: I mean of course, have you archived an email invitation with a blank questionnaire attached, or containing the URL? |
| 20:51 |
|
kados |
thd: yes but the url is no longer accessible |
| 20:51 |
|
thd |
:) |
| 20:52 |
|
thd |
kados: well, I will have to search elsewhere for an ILS feature list starting point. |
| 20:54 |
|
thd |
kados: I had started rewriting a Z39.50 client using PHPYAZ until I discovered I could not install my work on OSX in any of the usual ways :) |
| 20:55 |
|
kados |
thd: :-) |
| 20:55 |
|
thd |
kados: nothing short of recompiling Apache and PHP is likely to solve that issue for OSX. |
| 20:55 |
|
kados |
bummer |
| 20:58 |
|
thd |
kados: Until the Perl bindings for Zoom come Python may be the best cross-platform solution that I can work with if I rewrite my PHP code. The Python bindings are a little incomplete, undocumented, and difficult to follow. |
| 20:59 |
|
thd |
kados: The PHP was easy until I tried to install it elsewhere :) |
| 21:00 |
|
thd |
kados: What problems were you having with inappropriate matches for your LCC gathering attempt? |
| 21:03 |
|
thd |
kados: Before I forget, PHPYAZ allowed persistent connections which is the right solution for the connection timeout problem that you were having. Will Perl Zoom allow persistent connections? |
| 21:03 |
|
kados |
thd: I think so ... ask on koha-zebra ;-) |
| 21:05 |
|
thd |
kados: You had mentioned difficulties with your LC Class number gathering. What had been going wrong with the results retrieved? |
| 21:06 |
|
thd |
kados: After you stopped querying databases for GRS-1 records instead of USMARC, of course :) |
| 21:13 |
|
thd |
kados: were you using author-title queries? |
| 21:13 |
|
kados |
thd: yes |
| 21:14 |
|
thd |
kados: and were you getting back seemingly unrelated matches? |
| 21:14 |
|
kados |
thd: yep |
| 21:15 |
|
thd |
kados: did the matches at least include the relevant record somewhere? |
| 21:15 |
|
kados |
thd: not sure ... I was just pulling out the first record |
| 21:17 |
|
thd |
kados: you were expecting perfect results :) |
| 21:17 |
|
kados |
thd: :-) |
| 21:18 |
|
thd |
kados: the problem is that the BIB-1 attribute set specifies the form of the query but not which field indexes the query will be run against. |
| 21:20 |
|
thd |
kados: Implementers of Z39.50 services, in their wisdom, want to make sure you get as many results as possible. |
| 21:21 |
|
thd |
kados: I will tell you how to trick them tomorrow or whenever you may be available. |
