Many institutions store information about individuals, including personal details and information about their activities. Due to privacy concerns, some institutions are required to anonymize the data on a regular basis.
Alma offers the option to delete such user information for fulfillment and resource sharing activities. The information is deleted for activities that have been completed, such as completed loans, closed fines and fees, or resource sharing borrowing requests.
You can configure Alma to delete the more specific information (for example, User ID) and retain the more general user information (for example, User Group and Job Title).
The information that is not anonymized can be included in Analytics reports.
For more information concerning anonymization, see Security and Data Privacy.

Bibliographic Details

The Bibliographic Details table is a dimension table that stores details about the bibliographic details. The primary key 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.

Bibliographic Details
Field	Note	Mapping from MARC21	Mapping from UNIMARC	Mapping from Dublin Core	Data Type	Data Size
Action Note	A note that contains information about the retention and the retention reason of the bibliographic record.	583	Not relevant	Not relevant	VARCHAR	4000
Author	The term Author refers to the individual or group of individuals responsible for creating or producing the work being documented. The author is the primary contributor to the work, and their name is typically listed prominently in the bibliographic record to identify the originator of the content. Depending on the type of work and the citation style, the author's name may be followed by additional information such as their credentials, institutional affiliation, and the date of publication.	100,110,111	700,701,710,711	Currently empty, planned to come from dc:creator, dcterms:creators	VARCHAR	4000
Author (Contributor)	The Author (Contributor) role refers to the specific role or function played by an individual or group in the creation or production of a work. This role is important for cataloging and documenting the contributions of different individuals or entities to a particular resource. The Author (Contributor) role is a way to categorize and describe the responsibilities of contributors beyond just being the primary author.	711 a,c-e,i,j,n,q,u and its 880 700 a-e,j,q,u and its 880 710 a-e,i,n,u and its 880	700 a-d,f,p 701 a-d,f,p 710 a-h,p 711 a-h,p 720 a,f" 721 a,f 702 a-d,f,g 712 a-h,p 722 a,f	Currently empty, planned to come from dc:contributor, dcterms:contributor	VARCHAR	4000
Begin Publication Date	The Begin Publication Date refers to the earliest date associated with the publication or release of a particular work. It is a critical piece of information that helps users understand when the work was first made available to the public. The publication date can be essential for citing the work correctly, tracking its historical context, and assessing its relevance to specific time periods.	008 pos. 07-10	100.Date1	Not relevant for Dublin Core	VARCHAR	255
BIB 008 MARC	The contents of the MARC 008 bibliographic field. The BIB 008 field in a MARC bibliographic record is a fixed-length data element used to provide additional information about the bibliographic record itself. It contains various control information that helps catalogers and library systems manage and process the record.	008		Not relevant for Dublin Core	VARCHAR	50
BIB LDR MARC	The BIB LDR refers to the Leader field (LDR) within the bibliographic record. The Leader is a fixed-length data element that provides control information about the bibliographic record itself. It is a critical component of MARC records, and each position within the Leader serves a specific purpose. The Leader field is typically 24 characters in length. The Leader field is used to convey fundamental information about the structure, organization, and characteristics of the bibliographic record.	LDR		Not relevant for Dublin Core	VARCHAR	50
Bibliographic Acquisition Accession Number Note	The identification code assigned to materials acquired in a single and separate transfer of custody.	541 e		Not relevant for Dublin Core	VARCHAR	255

Shared Dimensions with Other Subject Areas

For information concerning shared dimensions with other subject areas, see Shared Dimensions.

Vendor

The Vendor table is a dimension table that stores details about vendors. The data is taken from the PO Line for transactions of type encumbrance and from Invoice Line for transactions of type expenditure. Transactions of type allocation are not related to any particular vendor; therefore, they return a NULL/unknown value for all vendor fields. Vendors are the expected suppliers of materials ordered by the library.

Vendor
Field	Description	Additional Information
Vendor Code	Stores the vendor code unique to the institution	All the vendors that have been on the order, not just the active vendor.
Vendor Name	Stores the vendor name
Creation Date	The date the vendor was created.
Modification Date	The date the vendor was modified.
Additional Code	A code in addition to the vendor code.
ERP Code	A code used by an institution's financial system, such as the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system
Vendor Status	The status of the vendor	Possible values: Active Inactive Deleted

Institution

The shared Institution dimension allows the Network Zone to view reports according to institution. 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.

This dimension is available in every subject area. It contains the following fields:
