Hello,

I use the bibframe converter downloaded this january from the bibframe.org link to convert 100.000 marc records to bibframe.

I found a suspect behavior about the 017 tag conversion and I need help from you.

I have serveral records with just one 017 tag with one subfield "a" and the conversor create one "<bf:legalDeposit>":

Example in MARC21:
<datafield tag="017" ind1=" " ind2=" ">
<subfield code="a">DL B. 23732-1990</subfield>
</datafield>

Result in bibframe instance:
<bf:legalDeposit>
<bf:Identifier>
    <bf:identifierScheme>legalDeposit</bf:identifierScheme>
    <bf:identifierValue>DL B. 23732-1990</bf:identifierValue>
</bf:Identifier>
</bf:legalDeposit>

Other several records has different 017 tags with subfield "a" and the conversor create one "<bf:legalDeposit>" for each:

Example in MARC21:
<datafield tag="017" ind1=" " ind2=" ">
<subfield code="a">DL M. 22417-1975-v.1</subfield>
</datafield>
<datafield tag="017" ind1=" " ind2=" ">
<subfield code="a">DL M. 33617-1981-v.2</subfield>
</datafield>

Result in bibframe instance:
<bf:legalDeposit>
<bf:Identifier>
    <bf:identifierScheme>legalDeposit</bf:identifierScheme>
    <bf:identifierValue>DL M. 22417-1975-v.1</bf:identifierValue>
</bf:Identifier>
</bf:legalDeposit>
<bf:legalDeposit>
<bf:Identifier>
    <bf:identifierScheme>legalDeposit</bf:identifierScheme>
    <bf:identifierValue>DL M. 33617-1981-v.2</bf:identifierValue>
</bf:Identifier>
</bf:legalDeposit>

The problems (for me and sorry if it's not a problem) are when I have several subfield "a" in the same 017 Marc21 tag:

Example in MARC21:
<datafield tag="017" ind1=" " ind2=" ">
<subfield code="a">DL B. 33336-1988</subfield>
<subfield code="a">DL B. 37345-1992</subfield>
<subfield code="b">Biblioteca de Catalunya</subfield>
</datafield>

Result in bibframe instance:
<bf:legalDeposit>
<bf:Identifier>
    <bf:identifierScheme>legalDeposit</bf:identifierScheme>
    <bf:identifierValue>DL B. 33336-1988</bf:identifierValue>
    <bf:identifierAssigner>Biblioteca de Catalunya</bf:identifierAssigner>
</bf:Identifier>
</bf:legalDeposit>

I lost the second an all the other legal deposit informations from this record ( I have some records with 3 or 5 subfields on it)

And another problem was in this records ( and I know why) when the conversor try to work with them it generate an error and don't convert the record:

Example1 in MARC21:
<datafield tag="017" ind1=" " ind2=" ">
<subfield code="a">DL B. 12185-1989 (1)</subfield>
<subfield code="a">DL B. 19053-1989 (1)</subfield>
<subfield code="a">DL B. 42323-1989 (1)</subfield>
<subfield code="a">DL B. 12115-1990 (2)</subfield>
<subfield code="a">DL B. 37831-1990</subfield>
<subfield code="a">DL B. 12641-1991 (2)</subfield>
<subfield code="a">DL B. 13607-1991 (3)</subfield>
<subfield code="a">DL B. 22570-1991 (3)</subfield>
<subfield code="a">DL B. 11237-1996 (corregit) (4)</subfield>
<subfield code="b">Biblioteca de Catalunya</subfield>
</datafield>
