Definitely. The ultimate goal is to make a fast enough auto-suggestion facility that it can be triggered fully automatically, say when BibEdit detects a small pause in user typing, the suggestions will pop up automatically by themselves, without having to go via any hot key. Until we have this implemented, we'd have some hot key to help reduce the load; currently it is hooked on both C-S-a and on C-9, but this is just a demo. > Think more in the direction of John Smith, Hans Müller or the like, that > is your autosuggest list looks like: > > Smith <C-S-a> > Smith, John > Smith, John > Smith, John Yes. I was picturing the system would offer more information than just the name; for example, the institute, the birth date, whatever the given Invenio site configures to show as useful. And hovering over a concrete authority-based suggestion with a mouse would display even more complete authority record information to the cataloguer. > From our discussion at OAI7 [...] Sorry to have missed it. > Smith <C-S-a> > Smith, John ([email protected] : 01.01.2000--) > Smith, John ([email protected] : 01.01.1990--01.01.1998) > Smith, John ([email protected] : 01.01.2000--) Ah, we think alike. :) > BTW: it makes sense at some point to extend dup checking to 024 fields > as they accumulate a number of identifiers.

We could either introduce 024 as yet another standard field that is to be checked for uniqueness, or we can have a new variable that will list all the supposedly unique MARC tags that BibUpload would check against. (Together with the provenance.) Best regards -- Tibor Simko
