'a', 'subfield is not repeatable',
'x', 'unknown subfield',

};
# load default schema

# load custom schema

DESCRIPTION
MARC::Schema defines a set of MARC21 fields and subfields to validate Catmandu::MARC records. A schema is given as hash reference such as:
{ fields => {
LDR => {
positions =>
[ { position => '00-04', label => 'Record length' } ],
repeatable => 0,
},
'001' => { label => 'Control Number', repeatable => 0 }
}
}
For a more detailed description of the (default) schema see MARC21 structure in JSON.
METHODS
check( $record [, %options ] )
Check whether a given "Catmandu::Importer::MARC" or "MARC::Parser::*" record confirms to the schema and return a list of detected violations. Possible options include:
- ignore_unknown_fields
-
Don't report fields not included in the schema.
- ignore_unknown_subfields
-
Don't report subfields not included in the schema.
Errors are given as list of hash references with keys error
, tag
, type
and value
of the violated field. error
contains a human-readable error message for each violated field and/or subfield.
check_field( $field [, %options ] )
Check whether a MARC21 field confirms to the schema. Use same options as method check
.
