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.

Linked to CZ	Indicates if the record is linked to the Community Zone
Linked to NZ	Indicates if the record is linked to the Network Zone
Local Param 1-10	This field allows you to enrich the bibliographic information exported to Analytics with additional information from MARC fields in Alma. In order to make use of this field, you must contact Ex Libris Support and supply them with a three-digit MARC field code (for example, 901). (The field does not need to include a 9.) The fields can be number and code fields but not control fields. Therefore, the field must be greater than or equal to 010, because 00X are Control Fields and 01X-09X are Numbers and Code Fields. Following configuration of this field by Ex Libris Support, its value will be available in analytics. Subfields can be maintained in the Analytics fields identified for Local Param. When this capability is implemented, fields/subfields appear in Alma Analytics with the Alma subfield delimiter (either $$ or ‡) used to delineate the subfield content. Contact Support to enable this feature. Note that reindexing is required to fully implement this capability. Note that the local param fields are not related to the MARC type of the record. For example, if field 913 is defined to be in local param 1 then field 913 will always be in local param 1. This is the case if the record is of the type KORMARC, CNMARC, UNIMARC, MARC21, and so forth. It is not possible to have different sets of Local Param 1-10 for different types of MARC. The data in the local parameters is limited to 3900 characters.
Managed by Provider	Indicates if the electronic resource is managed by the provider
MMS ID	Stores the MMS ID of the item. This is the MMS ID of the portfolios associated with the electronic collection. It is not the MMS ID of the electronic collection or of the MMS ID of the descriptive bibliographic record added in the Additional tab of the electronic collection editor. If there are no portfolios, the value of this field is empty.
Modification Date	Stores the modification date. Date fields can consist of a partial date, such as just the year or a month and year.
Modification Date (Calendar)	Stores the modification date. Calendar Date fields always consist of a month, date, and year. If the information is not provided, 01 is added, so that a date of 2020 is rendered 01/01/2020. This date format is useful when filtering the report by date.
Modified By	Stores the user name that modified the record
Network ID	This field is used by institutions implementing a Network Zone. It is the same as the MMS ID of the bibliographic record in the Network Zone and can be used to create reports that show the MMS ID in the member institution (using the existing MMS ID), as well as the corresponding MMS ID in the Network Zone.
Originating System	The system where the bibliographic record originated
Originating System ID	The ID of the system where the bibliographic record originated
Originating System Version	The version of the originating system
Peer Reviewed	Indicates if the article was peer reviewed

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.

For Physical Items, Alma takes LC classification information from the holdings record level. For all other subject areas, it is taken from the bibliographic record level.

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)

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.

Institution

The shared Institution dimension allows the Network Zone to view reports according to institution. It is available in every subject area. It contains the following fields:

Institution
Field	Description	Additional information
Institution Code	The code of the institution.
Institution Name	The name of the institution.
Institution Timezone	The timezone of the institution
Data Available As Of	When the data became available to analytics
Data Updated As Of	When the data was taken from Alma

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.
