Hi! First of all Marc defines 100/700, so skipping this breaks compatibility which is not at all clever.
Don't do that. -- Kind regards, Alexander Wagner Subject Specialist Central Library 52425 Juelich mail : a.wag...@fz-juelich.de phone: +49 2461 61-1586 Fax : +49 2461 61-6103 www.fz-juelich.de/zb/DE/zb-fi ----- Reply message ----- From: "Samuele Kaplun" <samuele.kap...@cern.ch> Date: Thu, Mar 27, 2014 20:07 Subject: [pu jsonalchemy] Aggregation of several fields into now To: "Tibor Simko" <tibor.si...@cern.ch> Cc: "Esteban Gabancho" <esteban.jose.garcia.gaban...@cern.ch>, "Lars Holm Nielsen" <lars.holm.niel...@cern.ch>, "Wagner, Alexander" <a.wag...@fz-juelich.de>, "project-invenio-devel (Invenio developers mailing-list)" <project-invenio-devel@cern.ch> Additionally, as Lars mentioned, isn't the first author concept already captured by taking the first author in the authors list? Bibfield preserve field ordering so it's not really necessary to enforce a difference between first and the other until the moment when the data are imported/exported to MARC... Isn't it?

Yes, this use case is very important; however in case 100 is missing because of some mistake, then the first author from 700 would "take its role" until the problem is spotted by the record checked and fixed by the cataloguer. Seems OK to me; otherwise there would be no "first author" at all, only "additional authors", which is illogical. (And if there is indeed no first author, then people should be probably using "corporate author" concept, i.e. 110 and such.)
