retrieve the resource. Fortunately, I was able to fallback to their
legacy catalogue where the search only took me 2 seconds to find the
resource.
But it’s a reminder that the people who matter most are the users of
the library system. If that library loses their legacy catalogue,
I’ll probably just stop using that library, as the discovery layer
search interface was useless.

I can’t speak to LRM at all, but it reminds me how perhaps we should
start moving towards uncoupling some parts of Koha and thinking more
about how the different aspects should/could interact with different
metadata models.
I think Paul has already targeted the most important thing and that’s
search. Users don’t care what metadata model is in Koha. They just
want to be able to find the resources they desire. So whatever we do…
I think we should put OPAC users of Koha first and then work backwards.

Hello Stefano,
What you're pointing Stefano is very important: we must start our
effort toward LRM.
Here is my 1st thoughts about it: I think that LRM support on Koha
means 2 things:
* internal handling of the LRM model. This would mean breaking the
biblio/items structure of the database, managing "LRM records"
(if we have), proposing LRM cataloguing tools, and changing many
many other things in Koha (like MARC staging, z39/50 search, ...)
I feel that this will require years and a lot of work, and for
now the national catalogs are not ready to propose that.
* new search paradigm. What the Oslo Public Library made is very
interesting. when you do a search, you get the works
(author/title/copyright date), then can see the expressions that
exists in the library (publication dates, material type/support),
then the items. Example: XXXXX I don't know in US, italy or other
countries, but in France the BNF is working hard on adding "LRM"
fields in their catalogue. This is done by adding new MARC fields
(a lot...), that will contain an ARK to the linked data (work,
authors, place, subject, ...). Last week, there was a meeting at
the BNF where they presented their plans for 2019. BibLibre has
not yet started to investigate the effort to create a
"LRM-UNIMARC-Elastic Search" in Koha, but, for sure that's
something we'll investigate in 2019. If anyone is willing to join
the effort, let me know (even better: if you are interested in
LRM-MARC21-Elastic, the idea being to have a flexible
configuration). If anyone has information regarding
LRM-MARC21-LoC plans, feel free to share !
Have I missed something ? What are your plan regarding IFLA-LRM ?
What's next ?

Paul, very interesting the basic historic idea. What you wrote, helps me to say
that with Elasticsearch, Koha has the possibility to adopt definitely the LRM
[1] model, that is going to be implemented in RDA [2].
Especially important IMHO are links among authorities. Or, better, links of any
type.
