			<a name="A"></a><h2>A. Overview</h2>

			<p>BibConvert utility enables you to convert metadata records from
			various metadata formats into another metadata format supported by the
			Invenio local database. It is designed to process XML harvested
			metadata records, converting them into MARC21 before they are uploaded
			into the database. However, BibConvert is flexible enough to deal also
			with other structured metadata according to your needs, and offers a
			way to actually insert what you want into the database.

			<p>BibConvert is suitable for tasks such as conversion of records
			received from multiple data sources, or conversion of records from
			another system that may support a different metadata format.</p>


			<p>In order to cover a wider range of possible conversions, BibConvert
			has 2 different modes, each dealing with different types of data, and
			each using different configuration files.<p>

			<dl>
			<dt><b>Plain text-oriented mode:</b></dt>
			<dd>Deals with source data being typically structured with line breaks,
			and character-based separators. You can use this mode when you need
			to process line-based data, such as comma/tab separated values.
			Still, this mode is powerful enough to convert
			complex structures, at the cost of a more complex configuration.</dd>
			<dt><b>XML-oriented mode</b></dt>
			<dd>Convert source data being encoded in XML. Provided you have installed
			a supported XSLT processor on your machine, BibConvert can make use of standard
			XSLT to interpret your XML data.
			</dd>
			</dl>

			<a name="B"></a><h2>B XML-Oriented Mode</h2>
			<a name="B.1"></a><h3>1 Configuration File Examples</h3>
			<h4>Using XSLT</h4>
			You can use standard XSL stylesheets to transform your source data. Have a look
			at the provided samples in <code>etc/bibconvert/config</code> directory
			of your Invenio installation.<br/>
			<a name="B.2"></a><h3>2. Running BibConvert</h3>
			BibConvert in XML-oriented mode has only 1 parameter: <code>-c</code>.
			It is used to specify which transformation stylesheet to apply to the piped XML.
			<blockquote>
			<pre>
			$ bibconvert -coaidc2marcxml.xsl < sample.xml > /tmp/record.xml
			</pre>
			</blockquote>

			If the stylesheet you want to use is installed in the <code>etc/bibconvert/config</code>
			directory of your Invenio installation, then you can just refer to it by its filename.
			Otherwise use the full path to the file.

			<a name="C"></a><h2>C Plain Text-Oriented Mode</h2>
			<a name="C.1"></a><h3>1 Configuration File Examples</h3>

			<p>OAI DublinCore into MARC21 and OAI MARC into MARC21 configurations
			will be provided as default configuration, ensuring the standard
			uploading sequence
			(incl. <a href="oaiharvest-admin-guide">OAIHarvest</a>
			and <a href="bibupload-admin-guide">BibUpload</a> utilities). Other
			configurations can be created according to your needs. The
			configuration file that has to be created for each data source is a
			text file with following structure:

			<protect>
			<blockquote>
			<pre>
			### the configuration starts here
			### Configuration of bibconvert templates
			### source data : <source_data_name>

			=== data extraction configuration template ===
			### here comes the data extraction configuration template
			# entry example:

			AU---%A---MAX---;---

			# extracts maximum available data by field from metadata record
			# the values are found between specified tags
			# in this case between the '%A' tag and other tags defined
			# repetitive values are recognized by a semicolon separator
			# resp. by multiple presence of '%A' tag

			=== data source configuration template ===
			### here comes the data source configuration template
			# entry example:

			AU---<:FIRSTNAME:>-<:SURNAME:>

			# describes the contents of extracted source data fields
			# in this case, the field AU is described as having two distinct subfields

			=== data target configuration template ===
			### here comes the data target configuration template
			# entry example:

			AU::CONF(AU,,0)---<datafield id="700" ind1="" ind2=""><subfield code="a"><:AU::SURNAME::CAP():>, <AU::FIRSTNAME::ABR():></subfield></datafield>

			# This section concerns rather the desired output, while previous two were focused on the data source structures.
			# Each line equals to one output line, composed of given literals and values from extracted source data fields.
			# In this example, the XML Marc21 output line is defined,
			# containing re-formatted values of source fields SURNAME and FIRSTNAME

			### the configuration ends here
			</pre>
			</blockquote>
			</protect>

			<p>Having prepared a configuration, the BibConvert will convert the
			source data file according to it in a batch mode. The BibConvert is
			fully compatible with the Uploader1.x configuration language. For more
			information, have a look at the <a href="#C.3">BibConvert Configuration
			Guide</a> section below.


			<a name="C.2"></a><h3>2. Running BibConvert</h3>

			<p>For a fully functional demo, consider the following sample input data:

			<blockquote>
			<a href="<CFG_SITE_URL>/static/bibconvert-admin-guide/sample.dat">sample.dat</a> -- sample bibliographic data to be converted and inputted into Invenio
			<br /><a href="<CFG_SITE_URL>/static/bibconvert-admin-guide/sample.cfg">sample.cfg</a> -- sample configuration file, featuring knowledge base demo
			</blockquote>

			<p>To convert the above data into XML MARC, use the following command:

			<blockquote>
			<pre>
			$ bibconvert -b'<collection>' -csample.cfg -e'</collection>' < sample.dat > /tmp/sample.xml
			</pre>
			</blockquote>

			and see the XML MARC output file. You would then continue the upload procedure by calling <a
			href="bibupload-admin-guide">BibUpload</a>.

			<p>Other useful BibConvert configuration examples:

			<blockquote>
			<a href="<CFG_SITE_URL>/static/bibconvert-admin-guide/dcq.cfg">dcq.cfg</a> -- Qualified Dublin Core in SGML to XML MARC example
			<br /><a href="<CFG_SITE_URL>/static/bibconvert-admin-guide/dcq.dat">dcq.dat</a> -- corresponding data file, featuring collection identifiers demo
			</blockquote>

			<blockquote>
			<a href="<CFG_SITE_URL>/static/bibconvert-admin-guide/dcxml-to-marcxml.cfg">dcxml-to-marcxml.cfg</a> -- OAI XML Dublin Core to XML MARC example
			</blockquote>

			<blockquote>
			<a href="<CFG_SITE_URL>/static/bibconvert-admin-guide/bibtex.cfg">bibtex.cfg</a> -- BibTeX to XML MARC example
			</blockquote>

			<a name="C.3"></a><h3>3 BibConvert Configuration Guide</h3>

			<h4><a name="G"></a>Conventions</h4>

			<br/>- comment line starts with '#' sign in the first column
			<br/>- each section is declared by a line starting with '===' (further characters on the line are ignored)
			<br/>- values are separated by '---'

			<h4><a name="C.3.1"></a>3.1 Step 1 Definition of Source record</h4>
			<p>- Create/edit "data extraction configuration template" section of the configuration file.
			<br />- Each line of this section stands for a definition of one source field:
			<p><strong>name---keyword---terminating string---separator---</strong>
			<p>- Choose a (valid) name allowed by the system
			<br />- Enter <strong>keyword</strong> and <strong>terminating string</strong>, which are boundary tags for
			the wanted value extraction
			<br />- In case the field is repetitive, enter the value <strong>separator</strong>
			<br />- "<strong>---</strong>"is mandatory separator between all values, even zero-length
			<br />- <strong>MAX</strong>/<strong>MIN</strong> keywords can be used instead of terminating string
			<br />
			<p>Example of a definition of author(repetitive) and title (non-repetitive)
			fields:
			<br />
			<pre>
			=== data extraction configuration template ===
			### here comes the data extraction configuration template

			AU---AU_---MAX---;---
			TI---TI_---EOL------
			</pre>

			<h4><a name="C.3.2"></a>3.2 Step 2 Definition of Source fields</h4>
			<I>Each field extracted from the source according to the definition done
			in the first step can have an internal structure, which is described in
			this section.</I>
			<p>- Create/edit "data source configuration template" section of the configuration file.
			<br />- Each line of this section stands for a definition of one source field
			<br />- <name> corresponds to the name defined in the step 1
			<p>name---{CONST<:SUBFIELD:>[CONST]}}
			<p>- Enter only constants that appear systematically.
			<br />- Between two discrete subfields has to be defined a constant of a non zero
			length
			<br />- "---"is a mandatory separator between the name and the source
			field definition
			<p>Example of a definition of author(repetitive) and title (non-repetitive)
			fields:
			<pre>
			=== data source configuration template ===
			TI---<:TI:>
			AU---<:FIRSTNAME:>-<:SURNAME:>
			</pre>

			<h4><a name="C.3.3"></a>3.3 Step 3 Definition of target record</h4>
			<I>This definition describes the layout of the target record that is created by the conversion,
			together with the corresponcence to the source fields defined in step 2.</I>

			<p>- Create/edit "data target configuration template" section of the configuration file.
			<br />- Each line of this section stands for an output line created by the conversion.
			<br />- <name> corresponds to the name defined in the steps 1 and 2
			<p>CODE---CONST<:name::SUBFIELD::FUNCT():>CONST<:GENERATED_VALUE:>
			<p>- <strong>CODE</strong> stands for a tag for readability (optional)
			<br />- "<strong>::</strong>"is a mandatory separator between the name and the subfield
			definition
			<br />- optionally, you can apply the appropriate <a href="#C.3.4.1">formatting function(s)</a>
			and <a href="#C.3.4.2">generated values</a>
			<br />- "<strong>::</strong>"is a mandatory separator between the subfield definition and the function(s)
			<br />- "<strong>---</strong>"is a mandatory separator between the tag and the output code definition
			<br />- mark repetitive source fields with an asterisk (*)
			<p>Example of a definition of author (repetitive) and title (non-repetitive) codes:

			<protect>
			<pre>
			<br/>AU::CONF(AU,,0)---<datafield id="700" ind1="" ind2=""><subfield code="a"><:AU*::AU:></subfield></datafield>
			<br/>TI::CONF(TI,,0)---<datafield id="245" ind1="" ind2=""><subfield code="a"><:TI::TI::SUP(SPACE, ):></subfield></datafield>
			</pre>
			</protect>

			<br />- preserve newlines in a source field for later use by formatting
			functions by marking them with "^"
			<p>Example of a definition of a book editors field in which the newlines are preserved
			so that they can be processed by the JOINMULTILINES formatting function:
			<protect>
			<pre>
			<br/>AU---<datafield id="773" ind1=" " ind2=" "><:BOOKEDITOR^::BOOKEDITOR::JOINMULTILINES(<subfield code="a">,</subfield>):></datafield>
			<br /><br />
			With a value such as:<br />
			Test
			Case, A
			<br />
			The results may be:<br /><br />
			<datafield tag="773" ind1="" ind2=""><subfield code="a">Test</subfield><subfield code="a">Case, A</subfield></datafield>
			</pre>
			</protect>


			<h4><a name="C.3.4"></a>3.4 Formatting in BibConvert</h4>

			<h5> <a name="C.3.4.1"></a>3.4.1 Definition of formatting functions</h5>

			<blockquote>Every field can be processed with a variety of functions that
			partially or entirely change the original value.
			<br />There are three types of functions available that take as element either
			single characters, words or the entire value of processed field.
			<br />
			<p>Every function requires a certain number of parameters to be entered
			in brackets. If an  insufficient number of parameters is present,
			the function uses default values. Default values are constructed with attempt to keep the original value.
			<p>The configuration of templates is case sensitive.
			<p>The following functions are available:
			<p><a href="#ADD">ADD(prefix,suffix) - add prefix/suffix</a>
			<br /><a href="#KB">KB(kb_file,[0-9]) -lookup in kb_file and replace value</a>
			<br /><a href="#ABR">ABR(x,suffix)/ABRW(x,suffix) - abbreviation with suffix addition</a>

			<p>The file specified in the parameter is a text file representing a table
			of values that correspond to each other:
			<p>{<strong>input_value---output_value</strong>}
			<p>KB(file,1) searches the exact value passed.
			<br />KB(file,0) searches the KB code inside the value passed.
			<br />KB(file,2) as 0 but not case sensitive
			<br />KB(file,R) replacements are applied on substrings/characters only.
			<br/>
			<br/> bibconvert look-up value in KB_file in one of following modes:

			<br/> 1 - case sensitive / match (default)
			<br/> 2 - not case sensitive / search
			<br/> 3 - case sensitive / search
			<br/> 4 - not case sensitive / match
			<br/> 5 - case sensitive / search (in KB)
			<br/> 6 - not case sensitive / search (in KB)
			<br/> 7 - case sensitive / search (reciprocal)
			<br/> 8 - not case sensitive / search (reciprocal)

			field</h4>

			<blockquote>The input value is taken as it is, or refused depending on

			is possibe to use the keyword MAX.
			<p>This is useful in case of AU code, where the first entry has a different
			definition from other entries:
			<p>AU::RANGE(1,1)---CER <:SYSNO:> AU2    L <:AU::SURNAME:>,
			<:AU::NAME:>    ... takes the first name from the defined

			<h4><a name="DEFP"></a>DEFP() - default print</h4>
			<blockquote>The value is printed by default even if it does not contain any variable input from the source file.</blockquote>

			<h4>
			<a name="IFDEFP"></a>IFDEFP(field,value,1/0) - IF condition is met, default print</h4>
			<blockquote>The line is printed by default (even if it does not contain any variable input from the source file) IF
			a condition is met that depends on the value of some other field. The condition is basically either that "field"
			contains "value" (in which case the 3rd parameter should be set to 1), or that "field" does NOT contain "value"
			(in which case the 3rd parameter should be set to 0).
			<br />
			<br />
			For example, given the following line:<br /><br />
			690C::REP(EOL,)::IFDEFP(comboYEL,BOOK,1)---<datafield tag="690" ind1="C" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">BOOK</subfield></datafield><br />
			<br />
			We want to print the line if the (field) "comboYEL" contains the (value) "BOOK", otherwise we don't want to print it.
			Therefore, the 3rd parameter is set to "1". However, in the following line:<br /><br />
			690C::REP(EOL,)::IFDEFP(comboYEL,BOOK,0)---<datafield tag="690" ind1="C" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">OTHER</subfield></datafield><br />
			<br />
			We want to print the line if the (field) "comboYEL" does NOT contain the (value) "BOOK", otherwise we don't want to
			print it. Therefore, the 3rd parameter is set to "0".<br />
			<br />
			This is achieved by using "IFDEFP". If the line had contained variables, the "CONF" function would have been used
			instead.

			<h4>
			<a name="JOINMULTILINES"></a>JOINMULTILINES(prefix,suffix) - Join a multiline string into a single line
			with each segment having prefix and suffix</h4>
			<blockquote>
			Given a field-value with newlines in it, split the field on the new lines (\n),
			separating them with prefix, then suffix. E.g.:<br />
			For the field XX with the value:<br /><br />
			Test<br />
			Case, A<br />
			<br />And the function call:<br /><br />
			<:XX^::XX::JOINMULTILINES(<subfield code="a">,</subfield>):><br />
			<br />The results would be:<br />
			<br />  <subfield code="a">Test</subfield><subfield code="a">Case, A</subfield><br />
			<br />One note on this: <:XX^::XX:<br />
			Without the ^ the newlines will be lost as bibconvert will remove them, so
			you'll never see an effect from this function.

			<h4>
			<a name="C.3.4.2"></a>3.4.2 Generated values</h4>

			<blockquote>In the template configurations, values can be either taken from the source
			or generated in the process itself. This is mainly useful for evaluating constant values.

			<p>Currently, the following date values are generated:
			<br /> </blockquote>

			<h4>
			DATE(format,n)</h4>

			<blockquote>default: DATE(,10)
			<p>where n is the number of digits required.
			<p>Generates the current date in the form given as a parameter. The format
			has to be given according to the ANSI C notation, i.e. the string is composed
			out of following components:
			<p><a name="date"></a>  %a    abbreviated weekday name
			<br />  %A    full weekday name
			<br />  %b    abbreviated month name
			<br />  %B    full month name
			<br />  %c    date and time representation
			<br />  %d    decimal day of month number (01-31)
			<br />  %H    hour (00-23)(12 hour format)
			<br />  %I    hour (01-12)(12 hour format)
			<br />  %j    day of year(001-366)
			<br />  %m    month (01-12)
			<br />  %M    minute (00-59)
			<br />  %p    local equivalent of a.m. or p.m.
			<br />  %S    second (00-59)
			<br />  %U    week number in year (00-53)(starting with
			Sunday)
			<br />  %V    week number in year
			<br />  %w    weekday (0-6)(starting with Sunday)
			<br />  %W    week number in year (00-53)(starting with
			Monday)
			<br />  %x    local date representation
			<br />  %X    local time representation
			<br />  %y    year (no century prefix)
			<br />  %Y    year (with century prefix)
			<br />  %Z    time zone name
			<br />  %%    %
			<br /> </blockquote>

			<h4>
			WEEK(diff)</h4>

			<blockquote>Enters the two-digit number of the current week (%V) increased
			by specified difference.
			<br />If the resulting number is negative, the returned value is zero (00).
			<br />Values are kept up to 99, three digit values are shortened from the
			left.
			<p>WEEK(-4)    returns 48, if current week is 52
			<br />WEEK           current
			week
			<br /> </blockquote>

			<h4>
			SYSNO</h4>

			<blockquote>
			<br />Works the same as DATE, however the format of the resulting value is
			fixed so it complies with the requirements of further record handling.
			The format is 'whhmmss', where:
			<p>w     current weekday
			<br />hh    current hour
			<br />mm    current minute
			<br />ss    current second
			<p>The system number, if generated like this, contains a variable value
			changing every second. For the system number is an identifier of the record,
			it is needed to ensure it will be unique for the entire record processed.
			Unlike the function DATE, which simply generates the value of format given,
			SYSNO keeps the value persistent throughout the entire record and excludes collision
			with other records that are generated in period of one week with one second granularity.
			<p>It is not possible to use the DATE function for generating a system number instead.
			<p>The system number is unique in range of one week only, according to
			the current definition.
			<br />

			<br /> </blockquote><h4>
			OAI</h4>

			<blockquote>

			<p/>Inserts OAI identifier incremented by one for earch record
			Starting value that is used in the first record in the batch job can be specified on the command line using the -o<starting_value> option.
