=head1 NAME
-IsisDB - Read CDS/ISIS database
+IsisDB - Read CDS/ISIS, WinISIS and IsisMarc database
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-This module will read CDS/ISIS databases and create hash values out of it.
-It can be used as perl-only alternative to OpenIsis module.
+This module will read ISIS databases created by DOS CDS/ISIS, WinIsis or
+IsisMarc. It can be used as perl-only alternative to OpenIsis module.
-This will module will always be slower that OpenIsis module which use C
-library. However, since it's written in perl, it's platform independent (so
-you don't need C compiler), and can be easily modified.
+It can create hash values from data in ISIS database (using C<to_hash>),
+ASCII dump (using C<to_ascii>) or just hash with field names and packed
+values (like C<^asomething^belse>).
Unique feature of this module is ability to C<include_deleted> records.
It will also skip zero sized fields (OpenIsis has a bug in XS bindings, so
fields which are zero sized will be filled with random junk from memory).
+It also has support for identifiers (only if ISIS database is created by
+IsisMarc), see C<to_hash>.
+
+This will module will always be slower than OpenIsis module which use C
+library. However, since it's written in perl, it's platform independent (so
+you don't need C compiler), and can be easily modified. I hope that it
+creates data structures which are easier to use than ones created by
+OpenIsis, so reduced time in other parts of the code should compensate for
+slower performance of this module (speed of reading ISIS database is
+rarely an issue).

=head1 METHODS
=cut
=head2 new
-Open CDS/ISIS database
+Open ISIS database
my $isis = new IsisDB(
isisdb => './cds/cds',
=item isisdb
-Prefix path to CDS/ISIS. It should contain full or relative path to database
-and common prefix of C<.FDT>, C<.MST>, C<.CNT>, C<.XRF> and C<.MST> files.
+This is full or relative path to ISIS database files which include
+common prefix of C<.FDT>, C<.MST>, C<.CNT>, C<.XRF> and C<.MST> files.
+
+In this example it uses C<./cds/cds.MST> and related files.
=item read_fdt
close(fileCNT);
- print Dumper($self) if ($self->{debug});
+ print Dumper($self),"\n" if ($self->{debug});
# open files for later
open($self->{'fileXRF'}, $self->{isisdb}.".XRF") || croak "can't open '$self->{isisdb}.XRF': $!";
my $rec = $isis->fetch(55);
Returns hash with keys which are field names and values are unpacked values
-for that field (like C<^asometing^bsomething else>)
+for that field like this:
+
+ $rec = {
+ '210' => [ '^aNew York^cNew York University press^dcop. 1988' ],
+ '990' => [ '2140', '88', 'HAY' ],
+ };
=cut
}
close(fileMST);
- print Dumper($self) if ($self->{debug});
+ print Dumper($self),"\n" if ($self->{debug});

}
=head2 to_ascii
-Dump ascii output of selected MFN
+Dump ASCII output of record with specified MFN
- print $isis->to_ascii(55);
+ print $isis->to_ascii(42);
+
+It outputs something like this:
+
+ 210 ^aNew York^cNew York University press^dcop. 1988
+ 990 2140
+ 990 88
+ 990 HAY
+
+If C<read_fdt> is specified when calling C<new> it will display field names
+from C<.FDT> file instead of numeric tags.
=cut

+ $out .= "\n$fn\t".join("\n$fn\t",@{$self->{record}->{$f}});
}

=head2 to_hash
-Read mfn and convert it to hash
+Read record with specified MFN and convert it to hash
my $hash = $isis->to_hash($mfn);
It has ability to convert characters (using C<hash_filter> from ISIS

-fixup of data.

This function returns hash which is like this:

-You can later use that has to produce any output from ISIS data.
+You can later use that hash to produce any output from ISIS data.
+
+If database is created using IsisMarc, it will also have to special fields
+which will be used for identifiers, C<i1> and C<i2> like this:
+
+ '200' => [
+ {
+ 'i1' => '1',
+ 'i2' => ' '
+ 'a' => 'Goa',
+ 'f' => 'Valdo D\'Arienzo',
+ 'e' => 'tipografie e tipografi nel XVI secolo',
+ }
+ ],
+
+This method will also create additional field C<000> with MFN.
=cut

+ # init record to include MFN as field 000
+ my $rec = { '000' => $mfn };
