Dear Jane, same answer to your question:
>* It defines the MARC format, and must be updated when the MARC standard >changes (new fields defined, new subfields defined, fields >repeatable/not repeatable, etc.). Does the Koha framework set the MARC >standard for the system? No, the decision of MARC format to use is in the admin preferecence 'marcflavour' Now the value can be 'MARC21' or 'UNIMARC' > Do site administrators need to modify it manually? Yes, the definiton of the framework with all MARc fields is a long number of SQL lines in installer/data/mysql/en/marcflavour/unimarc/mandatory/unimarc_framework_DEFAULT.sql [for Unimarc] and in installer/data/mysql/en/marcflavour/marc21/mandatory/marc21_framework_DEFAULT.sql [for MARC21] >Do updates happen automatically with Koha version upgrades? No, during Koha update you mantain the frameworks that you have. >* The Sirsi format policy controls index settings. I understand that in >Koha those are handled separately, through the Zebra setup. Is that >correct? Yes, frameworks and indexes are not connect.
