Bibliographic Details

The Bibliographic Details table is a dimension table that stores the bibliographic details of the digital inventory item. The primary key of the table is MMS_ID.

The field descriptions can be found in the Bibliographic Details shared dimension.

Ex Libris works with content providers worldwide to enrich the metadata available in the Alma Community Zone. To enrich the journal/serial content in the CZ, we work directly with the Library of Congress CONSER feed for electronic serials, which we match against our knowledge base to enrich with all of the relevant metadata fields that they supply (for more details, see Community Zone Serial Records Enrichment) and enrich the CZ records with all relevant metadata, including the 050 fields (when available). In the case of book content, we work with multiple providers who are willing to share their metadata with the Alma community globally (for more details, see Community Zone Monograph Records Enrichment). If you have local access to these classifications, you may want to consider working with the local extension for these records whenever an update is not available. (For more details, see Working with Local Extension Fields for Community Zone-linked Records.)

The Bibliographic Details table contains two kinds of fields, those derived from the MARC record and those that come from Alma. Although in analytics there is no distinction made between these fields, for explanatory purposes we have divided them into two tables below.

The Bibliographic Details table includes all bibliographic records in the catalog whether they have inventory or not.

LC Classifications

Using this dimension, the user can drill down from Group1 to Group4. In each level, the user may see measures accumulated to the relevant group and see the number of items grouped by classification.

The field descriptions can be found in the LC Classifications shared dimension.

The Library of Congress Classification (LCC) is displayed in Analytics in the LC Classification shared dimension, available in several subject areas. LC classification information is derived from the bibliographic record in most subject areas, except for the Physical Items subject area, where it can be derived from either the holdings record or the bibliographic record.

From the Bibliographic Record:

For MARC21

Taken from field 050$$a. If 050$a has no content, 090$a is used.

https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd050.html

For UNIMARC

Taken from field 680$$a

There are five levels of the LC Classification stored in Alma Analytics. Each level is referred to by a numbered group (Group1, Group2, Group3, Group4 and Group5).

Using the hierarchy option in this dimension, the user can drill down from Group1 to Group4. In each level, the user can see measures accumulated to the relevant group.

For example:

SF1-1100 Animal culture
- SF87 Acclimatization
- ... .
- SF191-275 Cattle
  - SF250.5-275 Dairy processing. Dairy products
  - SF221-250 Dairying

LC Classifications

If there is more than one classification code, the last one appears.

Ex Libris works with content providers worldwide to enrich the metadata available in the Alma Community Zone. To enrich the journal/serial content in the CZ, we work directly with the Library of Congress CONSER feed for electronic serials, which we match against our knowledge base to enrich with all of the relevant metadata fields that they supply (for more details, see Community Zone Serial Records Enrichment). We receive weekly updates from CONSER and enrich the CZ records with all relevant metadata, including the 050 fields (when available). In the case of book content, we work with multiple providers who are willing to share their metadata with the Alma community globally (for more details, see Community Zone Monograph Records Enrichment). If you have local access to these classifications, you may want to consider working with the local extension for these records whenever an update is not available. (For more details, see Working with Local Extension Fields for Community Zone-linked Records)

The Start Range indicates the initial classification number or identifier within a specified range that encompasses a set of related subjects, topics, or materials. For example, in PS501-689 (Collections of American literature), the start range is PS501. Possible start range values are hard coded to the beginning of LC Classification groups.	VARCHAR	50
End Range	End Range refers to the concluding point of a designated range within a classification system. The End Range specifies the final classification number or identifier within a defined range that encompasses a set of related subjects, topics, or materials. For example, in PS501-689 (Collections of American literature), the end range is PS689. Possible end range values are hard coded to the end of LC Classification groups.	VARCHAR	50
Classification Code	Classification Code refers to a unique alphanumeric identifier assigned to a specific subject or topic category within the library's classification system. The Classification Code is composed of letters and numbers that represent various facets of a work, such as its subject, genre, or format. For example, in the LC classification "PN1997.2.D56," the "PN" portion represents the general subject area (Performing Arts), and the "1997.2.D56" further refines the classification to a specific work or aspect within that category.	VARCHAR	50
Start Range Number	The numbers that come after the letter(s) in the start range.	DOUBLE
End Range Number	The numbers that come after the letter(s) in the end range.	DOUBLE
Classifications	The Hierarchy column that enables the user to drill down from the first level of the classification to the fourth level. Using this column provides the user with the option to view the accumulative measures. Note that the fifth level is not included in this field.	Hierarchy

For a Knowledge Article related to LC Classifications, see Analytics LC Classification code shows Unknown even though a call number is present in Alma.

Dewey Classifications

Digital Inventory can be classified with Dewey Classifications.

In Dewey Classifications, topics are ordered in a hierarchy that is indicated by a three digit number. The highest level of the hierarchy is indicated by a number with one significant digit followed by two zeros, such as 600. The second level in the hierarchy is indicated by a number with two significant digits followed by one zero, such as 630. The third level in the hierarchy is indicated by a number with three significant digits such as 636.

Note that the Dewey number is taken from the 852 subfield h of the holdings record and not from the 082 of the bibliographic record.

The field descriptions can be found in the Dewey Classifications shared dimension.

The Dewey Classification is displayed in Analytics in the Dewey Classifications shared dimension, available in several subject areas. Dewey classification information is derived from the bibliographic record in most subject areas, except for the Physical Items subject area, where it can be derived from either the holdings record or the bibliographic record.

From the Bibliographic Record:

For MARC21

Take from field 082$$a

https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd082.html

Institution

The shared Institution dimension allows the Network Zone to view reports according to institution. If an analytics report is run from the Network Zone in a collaborative network implementing a Network Zone, all member institutions are included in the report for Institution Code and Institution Name. If an analytics report is run from an institution that is not part of a collaborative network implementing a Network Zone, only the single institution from which the report is run is included in the report for Institution Code and Institution Name.

Reports involving data across a collaborative network implementing a Network Zone may take longer to run than reports within one institution.

This dimension is available in every subject area. It contains the following fields:
