Hello Samuele!
Additionally, I still have the problem, that the file
as such is locked, though the clock is clearly beyond
2011-01-01. Thus if I try to download the file I'm
redirected to the login page and once I have become
John Doe wiht out any rights it tells me this file is
locked.
That is strange. I should investigate this and come back
to you ASAP.
Thanks. I actually tried this yesterday again with a
completely fresh rc1 install containing only the demo
site and was not able to get it working.
Indeed there was a bug! Thanks for having performed your
test which led to discovering this bug.
De rien :)
I have put a patch that fixes it (there was problem in a
regular expression parsing). It will be available with the
next rc, but you can also take it now from this ticket:
Thanks! You're very fast, indeed!
Besides the conceptional issue... Originally, I come from
a PICA environemnt and I admit that I always liked of PICA
[...]
this is no trivial thing done in a lazy afternoon. But
probably worth considering.
Uh! Pardon my ignorance: what is PICA and MLE?
PICA is one of the major commercial integrated library
systems in Germany. The PICA company (named, you guess it
"PICA) is now part of OCLC but is originally from the
Netherlands. Here in Germany you could actually devide the
major systems used in university libraries into two: Aleph
and PICA, wiht PICA leading, I think. Of course ther're some
other smaller systems as well, mainly in public libraries.
PICAs cataloguing GUI now is actually nothing more than a
_M_ulti _L_ine _E_dit (MLE) field where you just jot down
the whole data set. That is you key in literally:
100 __ $aSomeone, Important
245 __ $aVery important book
700 __ $aOther, Author
and so on. (PICA doesn't use MARC, but the principle of
PICAs format is the same, it just uses 4 digits for the
category numbers.) No fancy fielded GUI, just bare text
entry with some syntax highlighting and some shortcuts to
handle authority linking and common tasks. (E.g. you've to
key in the authority records ID-_number_, and this is
handled by some nice lookup hotkey, that offers you a search
functinality for human readable text.)
Here's a screenshot of WinIBW, the usual GUI you get
for PICA. It shows the bibliographic part of an entry:

The nice thing with this GUI, that this is indeed very fast
once you know your numbers. And if you're doing cataloguing
the whole day long... (Even if you just do subject indexing
you get to know them.)
For local holdings and so on they have a pretty interesting
concept IMHO: you just get those as paragraphs appended to
the bibliographic data. No extra pages, not other module,
it's just in this view with the same syntax. Imagine the
above GUI, add two new lines at the end and key in the
"7000-block" for holdings... If you have to enter or adjust
the shelf mark of a book you can do it right there. No need
to switch to another view.
