Authorities in Evergreen
This page has been created as an initial place to keep track of issues related to authorities in EG. The current content is just suggestions, and will get updated after the Evergreen 2013 conference.
Roadmap Ideas
Development Ideas / Wishlist
Ability to create a new authority record without needing to use a bib record
Add "audit tables" support to authorities to track changes to individual authorities over time, just like the audit tables on bib records.
Improve how "uniform titles" are handled in "manage authorities"
Have "manage authorities" display in its search results "see" and "see also" references, instead of having to look inside each authority record.
Improve how "see" and "see also" references are displayed when using the "bib MARC edit" context menu (right-click) to add a new authority link. Need to find a way to display the seemingly redundant "see" and "see also" references. We want a way to make it look more clear and less redundant.
Move bib-to-authority and authority-to-authority linking functions into the database - the linking of authority records is currently handled by two outside scripts that need to be run on a regular basis. An improvement would be to handle this linking in the database and for the linking to happen as authority and bib records are saved or otherwise added to the database. See this wishlist bug,
