The tag-table +service, which is part of the web staff client sprint 2 +preview in this release, has the following features: + +- specifies whether (sub)fields are optional or mandatory +- specifies whether (sub)fields are repeatable or not +- a coded value map can be associated with a subfield to + establish a controlled vocabulary for that subfield +- MARC field and subfield definitions can be overridden + by institutions further down in the organizational unit + hierarchy. This allows, for example, a library to specify + definitions for local MARC tags. +- values supplied by the tag-table service are used to + populate values in context menus in the web staff client + MARC editor. + +The initial seed data for the in-database tag table is +derived from the current tooltips XML file.
