Alma Normalization Rule Examples

see also:
Working with normalization rules on the Ex Libris Knowledge Center and Normalization Rule Examples from Hanoch Roniger of Hebrew University.

• 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 priority or a salience the the higher priority or salience occurs first. 2 occurs before 1 and 10 occurs before 9

Deal with 955 and 954 when publishing to Rapid

(If both 955 and 954 exist then delete the 955.  If 955 exists and 954 does not exist then change the 955 to 954)

Move anything after the forward slash in 250 subfield a to 250 subfield b – option one

First change the “/” to ” separator_slash”

Then split subfield a into two subfield a occurrences and split it at text ” separator_slash”

Then change the second subfield a to subfield b

rule "change the slash in 250 a to text separator slash with space before separator" 
priority 3

Move anything after the forward slash in 250 subfield a to 250 subfield b – option two

Note that this rule “Move anything after the forward slash in 250 subfield a to 250 subfield b – option two” can be used in the metadata editor but not in a normalization process because it contains a dollar sign.

To run this in a  normalization process use “Move anything after the forward slash in 250 subfield a to 250 subfield b – option one”

First change the / to /$_separator_$b

Then change /$_separator_$b to $$b by changing _separator_ to nothing.

rule "move anything after the forward slash in 250 subfield a to 250 subfield b" 
when 
(exists "250.a" ) 
then
replaceContents "250.*./" with "/$_separator_$b"
replaceContents "250.*._separator_" with ""
end

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

(it uses a temporary 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"

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

Replace an encoded ampersand with a real ampersand (replace & with &)
