Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of book management, and in particular to a book metadata entry method, system, computing device and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] MARC (Machine Readable Cataloging) is a machine-readable cataloging format that provides a standardized structure for the storage and sharing of book metadata in the library and book distribution industry. The CNMARC format used in China is a book metadata format compiled in accordance with the WH / T0503-96 standard. Most public libraries choose to use the modified CNMARC format, forming the National Library School. University libraries retain the original CNMARC format and draw on the USMARC cataloging rules to form the CALIS format school.

[0003] The data elements of the two formats are basically the same, but there are differences in subfield identification, field selection, catalog content, etc. Although the differences are small, data in one format cannot be directly replaced by data in another format. In order to meet the needs of different types of customers, library distributors usually need to prepare data in two formats, one CALIS format and one National Library format. Although some information can be shared, due to format differences, the two records still need to be processed and stored separately, which still involves a lot of duplication of work, the workload is still large, and the efficiency is low. In addition, the coexistence of multiple formats in the data maintenance process leads to problems of increased management difficulty and error rate. Summary of the invention

On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0024] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a computing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, in a basic configuration 102, computing device 100 includes system memory 106 and one or more processors 104. A memory bus 108 may be used for communication between processor 104 and system memory 106.

[0025] The processor 104 may be any type of processor, including but not limited to a microprocessor (µP), a microcontroller (µC), a digital signal processor (DSP), or any combination thereof. The processor 104 may include one or more levels of cache, such as a level 1 cache 110 and a level 2 cache 112, a processor core 114, and registers 116. An example processor core 114 may include an arithmetic logic unit (ALU), a floating point unit (FPU), a digital signal processing core (DSP core), or any combination thereof. An example memory controller 118 may be used with the processor 104, or in some implementations, the memory controller 118 may be an internal part of the processor 104.

[0026] The system memory 106 may be any type of memory, including but not limited to: volatile memory (such as RAM), non-volatile memory (such as ROM, flash memory, etc.) or any combination thereof. The physical memory in the computing device generally refers to the volatile memory RAM, and the data in the disk needs to be loaded into the physical memory before it can be read by the processor 104. The system memory 106 may include an operating system 120, one or more programs 122, and program data 124. In some embodiments, the program 122 may be arranged to execute instructions on the operating system by one or more processors 104 using program data 124. The operating system 120 may be, for example, Linux, Windows, etc., which includes program instructions for processing basic system services and performing hardware-dependent tasks. The program 122 includes program instructions for implementing various user-desired functions, and the program 122 may be, for example, a browser, instant messaging software, a software development tool (such as an integrated development environment IDE, a compiler, etc.), etc., but is not limited thereto. When the program 122 is installed in the computing device 100, a driver module may be added to the operating system 120.

[0027] When the computing device 100 starts running, the processor 104 reads and executes the program instructions of the operating system 120 from the memory 106. The program 122 runs on the operating system 120, and uses the interfaces provided by the operating system 120 and the underlying hardware to implement various functions desired by the user. When the user starts the program 122, the program 122 is loaded into the memory 106, and the processor 104 reads and executes the program instructions of the program 122 from the memory 106.

[0028] Computing device 100 also includes a storage device 132 including a removable storage 136 and a non-removable storage 138 , both of which are connected to storage interface bus 134 .

[0029] The computing device 100 may also include an interface bus 140 that facilitates communication from various interface devices (e.g., output devices 142, peripheral interfaces 144, and communication devices 146) to the basic configuration 102 via the bus / interface controller 130. Example output devices 142 include a graphics processing unit 148 and an audio processing unit 150. They can be configured to facilitate communication with various external devices such as a display or speakers via one or more A / V ports 152.

Example communication devices 146 may include a network controller 160, which may be arranged to facilitate communication with one or more other computing devices 162 via a network communication link via one or more communication ports 164.

[0030] A network communication link may be an example of a communication medium. Communication media may generally be embodied as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transmission mechanism, and may include any information delivery medium. A "modulated data signal" may be a signal in which one or more of its data sets or changes thereof may be performed in a manner that encodes information in the signal. As non-limiting examples, communication media may include wired media such as a wired network or a dedicated network, and various wireless media such as sound, radio frequency (RF), microwave, infrared (IR) or other wireless media. The term computer-readable media used herein may include both storage media and communication media. In a computing device 100 according to the present invention, the program 122 includes instructions for executing the book metadata entry method 200 of the present invention.

[0031] Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing a method 200 for entering book metadata according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, firstly, step S210 is executed to construct a unified data element set according to the cataloging rules. The data element set is compatible with the CALIS format and the National Library format.

[0032] There are some details differences between the CALIS format and the National Library format, for example, the 001 field of the National Library is composed of serial numbers, while CALIS is composed of letters plus serial numbers; CALIS has a 099 field, while the National Library has 035 and 049 fields; the National Library's pinyin starts with 9, while the CALIS pinyin starts with A, etc. When building a unified data element set, these differences need to be integrated so that the final data can be compatible with the requirements of the two formats while maintaining data consistency and accuracy.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, the core fields are first determined according to the description rules of the National Library format and the CALIS format. For example, the field information of the National Library format is collected: serial number, book title, author, publishing unit, publication time, ISBN, edition, number of pages, subject words, classification number, control number, language, abstract, pricing, etc. The field information of the CALIS format is collected: serial number, book title, author, publishing unit, publication time, ISBN, edition, number of pages, subject words, classification number, control number, language, abstract, pricing, keywords, notes, etc.

[0034] The core fields in the unified data element set include necessary recording items such as book title, author, publishing information, version, number of pages, ISBN / ISSN, classification number, etc.

[0035] Then, according to the field differences between the National Library format and the CALIS format, automatic conversion rules are constructed for the core fields to obtain a data element set that is compatible with the CALIS format and the National Library format.

[0036] Since the CALIS format and the National Library format differ in the use of some fields, the recording methods of fields such as publication information, author information, and language information may be different. For example, the order and priority of the fields may be different in the two formats, which needs to be unified when unifying the data element set.

[0037] Automatic conversion rules include date format conversion, value conversion, encoding conversion, null value processing, etc. For example, the date format is uniformly YYYY-MM-DD to ensure the uniformity of the date field. If there are multiple responsible persons, "comma + space" is used to separate them. For standard numbers such as ISBN and DOI, the field value can contain letters and numbers, so it is set to string type.

[0038] Through automatic conversion rules, a unified data element set is constructed to ensure that each field and subfield can adapt to both CALIS and the National Library format. A unified data element set can be integrated into the data cataloging system for data entry and storage. A visual user interface is set up in the data cataloging system so that users can select the target format or enter special fields through user input options when entering data.

[0039] Then in step S220, a unified data entry interface is set, and the data entry interface is used to convert the data element set into the CALIS format or the National Library format.

[0040] Through the standardized data entry interface, the data cataloging system can automatically select the target format based on the user's input or request, and automatically convert the data according to the target format.

[0041] According to one embodiment of the present invention, automatically convertible fields and non-automatically convertible fields are marked in the data entry interface, where automatically convertible fields are fields that comply with field mapping rules, and non-automatically convertible fields are fields that do not comply with field mapping rules or are preset special fields; an automatic conversion algorithm is built into the data entry interface, and the automatic conversion algorithm is used to automatically convert data elements into the target format required by the user according to the field mapping rules.

[0042] Among them, field mapping rules include field matching, numeric type conversion, value conversion, field merging or splitting, etc. For example, if the "responsible person" field has a clear correspondence between the National Library format and the CALIS format, it can be converted automatically. If the information contained in some fields in one format is split or merged in the other format, for example, the "address" in the National Library format may need to be manually confirmed in its corresponding field in the CALIS format. The data entry interface can use field mapping rules to convert data from one format to another.

[0043] Finally, step S230 is executed to enter the book metadata according to the description rules of the data element set, and convert the entered book metadata into the target format according to the customer's target format requirements.

[0044] In the system input interface, enter the corresponding information of the book description items according to the description rules of the data element set. Based on the natural language processing (NLP) model, combined with the book's OCR (optical character recognition) scanning function, it can automatically identify the book cover, catalog, ISBN number, publication date and other information, and automatically fill it into the input system.

[0045] For fields that can be automatically converted, the data element set is converted into the target format required by the user based on the automatic conversion algorithm; for fields that cannot be automatically converted, user input fields are received based on user input options.

[0046] During the data entry process, the intelligent verification algorithm is called to perform real-time verification on the filled-in information, and the verified data is saved in the database. For example, mandatory field check: check whether the book title, author, publication year, and language are filled in. Format verification: ISBN should be 10 or 13 digits. The publication year should be a four-digit number within a reasonable range (such as 1900-current year). The number of pages should be a positive integer. Logical verification: ensure consistency between all related fields.

[0047] The automatic conversion algorithm includes multiple conversion functions, such as formatName(name): formats the name into the form of "surname, first name"; formatDate(date): formats the date into the format required by MARC (for example, YYYYMMDD); formatPhysicalDescription(desc): formats the physical description into the form required by MARC; generate008Field(dataElement): generates fixed-length data for the 008 field, including information such as book type, language, and publishing country.

[0048] The processing flow includes data input: obtaining data of a unified data element set; calling conversion functions to convert data; returning complete MARC records in CALIS format or National Library format. The automatic conversion algorithm can greatly improve data processing efficiency and reduce the risk of manual input errors.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, user feedback and demand changes can be collected, and the automatic conversion algorithm can be optimized based on the user feedback. For example, new fields (such as "author profile" and "cover image") can be added based on user needs. Users are allowed to set the priority of fields so that they can be processed more flexibly during conversion. Users are allowed to create and save customized conversion templates to adapt to different usage scenarios. The performance bottlenecks of existing automatic conversion algorithms are analyzed, and the code and algorithm logic are optimized to improve the processing speed.

[0050] Figure 3 FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a book metadata entry system 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the system 300 includes: a construction module 310 , a setting module 320 and an input module 330 .

[0051] The construction module 310 is used to construct a unified data element set according to the description rules, and the data element set is compatible with the CALIS format and the national library format. Specifically, the construction module 310 can first determine the core fields according to the description rules of the national library format and the CALIS format. For example, the core fields in the unified data element set include necessary description items such as book title, author, publication information, version, number of pages, ISBN / ISSN, and classification number.

[0052] Then, according to the field differences between the National Library format and the CALIS format, automatic conversion rules are constructed for the core fields to obtain a data element set compatible with the CALIS format and the National Library format. Automatic conversion rules include date format conversion, numerical conversion, encoding conversion, null value processing, etc. For example, the YYYY-MM-DD format is uniformly used for the date format to ensure the uniformity of the date field. If there are multiple responsible persons, "comma + space" is used to separate them. For standard numbers such as ISBN and DOI, the field value can contain letters and numbers, so it is set to string type.

[0053] Through automatic conversion rules, a unified set of data elements is constructed to ensure that each field and subfield can adapt to both CALIS and the National Library formats.

[0054] The setting module 320 can set a unified data entry interface, which is used to convert the data element set into the CALIS format or the national library format. Through the standardized data entry interface, the data cataloging system can automatically select the target format according to the user's input or request, and automatically convert the data according to the target format. The setting module 320 can mark the automatically convertible fields and non-automatically convertible fields in the data entry interface. The automatically convertible fields are fields that comply with the field mapping rules, and the non-automatically convertible fields are fields that do not comply with the field mapping rules or preset special fields; the automatic conversion algorithm is built into the data entry interface, and the automatic conversion algorithm is used to automatically convert the data elements into the target format required by the user according to the field mapping rules.

[0055] The input module 330 can input book metadata according to the description rules of the data element set, and convert the input book metadata into the target format according to the target format requirements of the customer. That is, for fields that can be automatically converted, the input module 330 can convert the data element set into the target format required by the user based on the automatic conversion algorithm; for fields that cannot be automatically converted, the input module 330 can receive user-entered fields based on user input options.

[0056] Compared with the prior art, the book metadata entry method and system provided by the present invention can at least achieve the following technical effects: 1. Through a unified set of data elements, all book metadata are summarized into a standardized structure, which is compatible with mainstream library formats such as CALIS format and National Library format, avoiding repeated entry of different formats, simplifying the data entry and management process, and effectively reducing errors and redundancy in data entry; 2. Through automated conversion rules, the accuracy and consistency of data entry and format conversion can be guaranteed. According to user needs, the pre-stored data entered according to a unified set of data elements can be converted into MARC data in different formats, so that the system can flexibly adapt to the needs of different users or institutions, and is suitable for scenarios that require efficient batch processing of book data.
