samiTools

Tools for working with SAMI files

Requirements

None.

Installation

From GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/victoriamorris/samiTools
cd samiTools

To install as a Python package:

python setup.py install

To create stand-alone executable (.exe) files for individual scripts:

python setup.py py2exe

Executable files will be created in the folder \dist, and should be copied to an executable path.

Both of the above commands can be carried out by running the shell script:

compile_samiTools.sh

Usage

Running scripts

The following scripts can be run from anywhere, once the package is installed:

sami2marc_authorities

Converts SAMI records for authorities to MARC 21 Authority in either MARC exchange (.lex) or MARC XML (.xml) format.

Usage: sami2marc_authorities.exe -i <ifile> -o <ofile>
                                [--date <yyyymmdd>|--max_size <number|size>]
                                [--tidy] [--header]

Arguments:
    -i    path to Input file
    -o    path to Output file

Options:
    --date <yyyymmdd>
              Split output into two files by specified date.
    --max_size <number|size>
              Split output by size or number of records
NOTE: --date and --max_size cannot be used at the same time.

Flags:
    --tidy    Tidy authority files to facilitate load to MetAg.
    --header  Include MetAg headers in MARC XML records
    --help    Show help message and exit.

Input files must be SAMI Authority files in text format (with .txt or .prn file extensions) or MARC XML format (with .xml file extensions).

The output file will either be a MARC exchange format file (with a .lex file extension) or a MARC XML file (with an .xml file extension) according to the file extension of the <ofile> parameter.

Records with errors will be written to <ofile>_errors, and will NOT appear in any other output files.

If parameter --date is specified:

Records with a created or amended date ealier than the value specified will be written to <ofile>_pre_<date>;
Records with a created or amended date equal to or later than the value specified will be written to <ofile>_post_<date>.
The --date parameter MUST be in the form yyyymmdd, e.g. 20100607.

NOTE: --date and --max_size cannot be used at the same time.

If parameter --tidy is specified:

If no 001 is present, one will be created from the first instance of 901 $a;
904 $a and 905 $a will be combined into a single 904 field ($a and $b);
906 $a and 907 $a will be combined into a single 906 field ($a and $b);
Created and Amended date will be converted from dd/mm/yy to yyyymmdd format.

If parameter --max_size is specified:

--max_size must be a positive integer, optionally followed by the letter K;
--max_size is EITHER the maximum number of records in an output file OR the (approx.) maximum file size (in KB) if the number has the suffix 'K';
Output will be written to a sequence of files with the same name as the input file, but with a suffix indicating its order in the generated output sequence
EXCEPT in the special case of --max_size 1 (the file is split into individual records) in which case the output files will be labelled with the record identifier.
Records with duplicate identifiers will be labelled with a _DUPLICATE suffix.
Records without identifiers will be labelled with _NO IDENTIFIER.

NOTE: --date and --max_size cannot be used at the same time.

If parameter --header is specified:

MARC XML records will be given a <header> to make them suitable for the Metadata Aggregator.
The <header> will include the record identifier.
For deleted records, the <header> element will have an @status="deleted" attribute.

NOTE: --header can only be used if the output is MARC XML.

Input files can be in any of the formats listed below.

SAMI text format

The format of Authority records exported directly from SAMI. May have .txt or .prn file extensions.

sami2marc_products

Converts SAMI records for products (words, reocordings, etc.) to MARC 21 Bibliographic in either MARC exchange (.lex) or MARC XML (.xml) format.

Usage: sami2marc_products.exe -i <input_path> -o <output_path>
                            [--max_size <number|size>]
                            [-x] [--header]

Arguments:
    -i    path to FOLDER containing Input files
    -o    path to FOLDER to contain Output files

Options:
    --max_size <number|size>
              Split output by size or number of records

Flags:
    -x        Output files will be MARC XML rather than MARC 21 (.lex)
    --header  Include MetAg headers in MARC XML records
    --help    Show help message and exit.

The output files will either be a MARC exchange format file (with .lex file extensions) or MARC XML files (with .xml file extensions) according to whether the -x flag has been set.

If parameter --max_size is specified:

--max_size must be a positive integer, optionally followed by the letter K;
--max_size is EITHER the maximum number of records in an output file OR the (approx.) maximum file size (in KB) if the number has the suffix 'K';
Output will be written to a sequence of files with the same name as the input file, but with a suffix indicating its order in the generated output sequence
EXCEPT in the special case of --max_size 1 (the file is split into individual records) in which case the output files will be labelled with the record identifier.
Records with duplicate identifiers will be labelled with a _DUPLICATE suffix.
Records without identifiers will be labelled with _NO IDENTIFIER.

If parameter --header is specified:

MARC XML records will be given a <header> to make them suitable for the Metadata Aggregator.
The <header> will include the record identifier.
For deleted records, the <header> element will have an @status="deleted" attribute.

NOTE: --header can only be used if -x is also specified.

Input files can be in any of the formats listed below.

prn

An XML format exported directly from SAMI.
