MARC Tag-table Service

The tag tables for the web staff client MARC editor are stored in the database. The tag-table service has the following features:

specifies whether (sub)fields are optional or mandatory
specifies whether (sub)fields are repeatable or not
a coded value map can be associated with a subfield to establish a controlled vocabulary for that subfield
MARC field and subfield definitions can be overridden by institutions further down in the organizational unit hierarchy. This allows, for example, a library to specify definitions for local MARC tags.
values supplied by the tag-table service are used to populate values in context menus in the web staff client MARC editor.

MARC Tag Tables can be found under Administration → Server Administration → MARC Tag Tables.
