Institutions: Move 510$a to 410$a

Open jenniferward opened this issue 10 months ago • 0 comments

In MARC, the 5XX fields are meant relate authorized headings to the 1XX. In Muscat's Institutions, the 510 is unauthorized and it is meant to record "parallel" forms of the 110.

In MARC, 4XX is meant to record alternate forms, and Muscat has 510 for "Other forms," so we essentially have two fields that record alternate forms.

The data in 510$a should me moved to 410$a.

Exception: 510 in Institutions already has $w and $i (both are relatively new subfields), and ca. 40 records already use 510 in the MARC sense. These records should be skipped. Example: https://muscat.rism.info/admin/institutions/30002095
