v2.0.0
Conversion updates based on specifications v2.0. See the Library of Congress’s BIBFRAME site for more details. Specifications are included in the distribution in the spec directory. Changes of note:
-
New Provision Activity conversion to separate encoded data in MARC 008 and transcribed data in MARC 26X. The 26X fields use new bflc properties bflc:simplePlace, bflc:simpleAgent and bflc:simpleDate to record literals. The 008 field uses existing bf:date and bf:place properties.
-
Series fields (4XX and 8XX) will create BF Hubs.
-
New Work types for Monograph, Serial, Series, Integrating, MusicAudio (subclass of Audio) and NonMusicAudio (subclass of Audio) created.
-
006 no longer converted.
-
Added bflc:Uncontrolled for 720 conversion.
