This module represents a major leap forward in Koha's support of standard
record formats (ISO-2709 (MARC), MARCXML, Dublin Core, MODS, etc). It
provides a standard API for record management as well as an error-handling
mechanism so that the API will return proper error strings to the calling
program. It's only partially implemented currently, but the API returns
proper error strings if a feature isn't implemented.
There is also a testing suite that you can use to check your system's
capabilities to handle record and encoding conversions. Commit coming
soon.
I'm gonna work in UNICODE support next ...
records. It can be used to convert from one record format to another,
build formats from html (such as in addbiblio and additem), convert from
one encoding to another, etc.
It's the first module that provides access to the new Koha 3.0 API that
I've been working on (stay tuned for a mail to koha-devel explaining it).
