New Schema for allrecords.xml

[kmiller621]

Discussed in #41

^{Originally posted by kmiller621 May 1, 2024}

Important Announcement 📢

Starting May 2024, the metadata for NIST Technical Series Publications will be pulled from the NIST Research Library's catalog rather than CrossRef. This will allow the Library to maintain version control. The XML schema will change from the CrossRef Query Output to Library of Congress MARC21 XML. The MARC21 XML will also be transformed into MODS using the LoC stylesheet.

The HTML pages for each series will also be replaced with links to the series collections on the NIST Research Library's website.

Summary of the changes

1. allrecords.xml currently in the CrossRef Query Schema will be moved to an archive folder and replaced with allrecords.xml in the MARC21 XML schema.
2. allrecords.xml will be updated on a bi-weekly basis
3. The HTML pages for each series will no longer be generated from allrecords.xml but will include links to the NIST Research Library's website.
4. The RIS files for each publication will not be updated, as they can be downloaded from the NIST Research Library's website.

@kmiller621 Thank you for this announcement! We are now migrating to the new MODS format.

In the meantime we've discovered that the current MODS file uploaded is actually broken:

It contains some fragments of HTML at the end (after </modsCollection>), like this:

         <languageOfCataloging>
            <languageTerm authority="iso639-2b" type="code">eng</languageTerm>
         </languageOfCataloging>
      </recordInfo>
   </mods>
</modsCollection>
ystem control number:
         				(SIRSI)u118815</li>
   </ul>
   
   <p>SYSTEM CONTROL NUMBER
      		</p>
   <ul>
      <li>System control number:
         				(Sirsi) u118815</li>
   </ul>
   
   <p>SYSTEM CONTROL NUMBER
      		</p>
   <ul>
      <li>System control number:
         				(Sirsi) o945070941</li>
   </ul>
...

Once we remove this cruft, the XML is correct. Thanks!

We have implemented the change to use bibliographic information directly from the MODS source:

• Schema change for NIST-Tech-Pubs repository allrecords.xml relaton/relaton-nist#112

Thanks!
