Nuove funzionalità e miglioramenti

Link to items related hierarchically (beta)*

With the 18 March 2024 release, WorldCat Discovery Premium and WMS users will be able to access a new experience where they can navigate hierarchically related records in WorldCat Discovery.

Relationships in the MARC 773, 800, 810, 811, and 830 fields cataloged using a valid OCLC Control Number (OCN) in the control $w will be represented in this new experience.

You can activate display of these relationships on the item details page by navigating to Service Configuration > WorldCat Discovery and WorldCat Local > Item Detail Settings > Browse Options.

If a record is cataloged with hierarchical relationships, those relationships can be located at the bottom of the item details page in a new tab called “Browse related items.” This tab will be located with other browse experiences “Browse the Shelf” and “Explore Editions & Formats.” There, users will find links to three possible relationships (when they exist).

These can be thought of as whole-part relationships.

·       In: an item is part of another item, like a volume (part) of an encyclopedia (whole).

·       Contains: an item contains something else, like an archival collection (whole) contains items (parts).

·       Grouped with: multiple items are part of the same whole, as in the previous example, where items that are parts of the same archival collection would fall under this “grouped with” relationship.

Example Display for an item that contains other items:

Example Display for an item that is part of another item:

Selecting the "in” title will bring the user to the item details page.

Selecting “grouped with” relationships brings the user to a modified search results view of all the related items, as outlined in the image below. Selecting “contains” relationships will bring users to a modified search results view of items contained by the title.

Modified search results listing items (parts) grouped within the same containing item:

Le seguenti categorie di materiali e relazioni sono incluse in questa funzione:

  • Volumi all'interno di un'opera in più parti: enciclopedia, dizionario, ecc.
  • Titoli di una serie monografica
  • Chapters within a book**
  • Composizioni o tracce all'interno di una partitura musicale o di una registrazione
  • Immagini all'interno di un album o di una collezione
  • Materiali fisici (es opuscoli) pubblicati separatamente ma successivamente rilegati da una biblioteca

**Note:

In scope: both chapter and book records are within WorldCat and a valid OCLC Control Number (OCN) is present in the control $w of the chapter record.

Out of scope: chapter records within central index databases from content partners. 

Note: Articles within journals are out of scope for this feature.

Problemi noti

The following known issues affect a small proportion of relationships.  We will address these in future releases and update their status on the WorldCat Discovery Known Issues page.

  • When the number of relationships exceeds 100 parts, the number of relationships displayed on the item details page is limited to 100.
  • For some materials with fewer than 100 parts, some records do not display all relationships.
  • For some materials, relationships may not be shown when multiple linking entry fields are present.
    • Multiple 773 fields, where the first 773 field does not contain relationships
    • Multiple linking IDs, where the OCLC ID is not listed first
