Merging

Merging works occurs in 2 steps:

1. Linking works

Using features from the source data to calculate which works are linked.

e.g:

• the BNumber from a Calm record

• Marcfield 776$w linking a Sierra record to it's digitised counterpart

This is carried out by the transformers of the respective sources data.

2. Merging linked works

Merging works consist of a few steps

• Choose a field to be merged e.g. items

• Choose a target - the work that we will merge into.

  e.g. Works from Calm

• Choose the sources - works that will be merged into the target.

  e.g. Sierra works with a single item

Below are diagrams of the merging rules
