It looks like the dataset is available in XML format. Perhaps you can
import it into an XML database (eXist - exist-db.org comes to mind), and
then generate a report via its query capabilities.

If you are, can become, or know, a programmer, that would be relatively

Although you might find more trouble than you expect around authorities, with
them being less standardized in your corpus than you might like.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] MARC reporting engine
I have ~800,000 MARC records from an indexing service
(http://natlib.govt.nz/about-us/open-data/innz-metadata CC-BY). I am trying to
generate:
(a) a list of person authorities (and sundry metadata), sorted by how many
times they're referenced, in wikimedia syntax
(b) a view of a person authority, with all the records by which they're
referenced, processed into a wikipedia stub biography
I have established that this is too much data to process in XSLT or multi-line
regexps in vi. What other MARC engines are there out there?
The two options I'm aware of are learning multi-line processing in sed or
learning enough koha to write reports in whatever their reporting engine is.
Any advice?
cheers
