Alma Normalization Rule Examples

see also: Working with normalization rules

• Note 1:  If you do copy/paste here make sure the quotation marks transfer correctly.
• Note 2: Some of the examples use “priority” and some use “salience”.  The “priority” and the “salience” work the same way.
• When there is a prioroity or a salience the the higher priority or salience occurs first. 2 occurs before 1 and 10 occurs before 9

Remove the last comma in 500 subfield a and do not touch the other commas

(it uses a temprary string with the comma by attaching a suffix to the end and removing the comma and suffix, then removing all other cases of the temporary suffix)

priority 10
    when
         (TRUE)
     then
            suffix "500.a" with "temporary_suffix_to_replace"
end
rule "two replace comma at end of 500 a with nothing"
priority 9
    when
         (TRUE)
     then
            replaceContents "500.a.,temporary_suffix_to_replace" with ""
end
rule "three replace comma at end of 500 a with nothing"

Fix punctuation in field 245

Note: This rule has three different cases depending on the presence of subfields a, b and c in the 245.

• If a and b and c are present then subfield a gets a : (colon) at the end it does not already have one and subfield b gets a forward slash (/) at the end if it does not already have one
• If only a and b are present then subfield a gets a : (colon) at the end if it does not already have one
• If only a and c are present then subfield a gets a forward slash (/) at the end if it does not already have one

# - set 490 indicator 2 to blank
# - concatenate field 440 subfields $a, $n and $p and place the new string into 490 subfield $a

# - and copy the content of 440 subfields $v, $x, $6, and $8 into the same subfields in field 490. 
# - Any additional subfields in field 440 (not mentioned above) go to 830 (as described below)

# Create the 830 field as follows:
# - Construct field 830 (Series Added Entry - Uniform Title)
