Description

We currently use WorldCat's xISBN service to suggest alternate editions. The xOCLCNUM service offers broader support for titles that do not have ISBNs. We should look into adding OCLC number to the Solr index and using this (when available) to augment the current use of xISBN.

Villanova already indexes the OCLC number and uses it for custom searches -- this functionality could be easily shared with the trunk to form the basis for xOCLCNUM support.

I think adding OCLC to the index (preferably with some normalization?) would be useful for a few things. I have just being doing some work on incorporating Google Book Search & Open Library previews into the search results page & full records page on our test site. Both of these services (& similar services like Haithi Trust) accept ISBN, LCCN & OCLC numbers, but recommend sending all three types to ensure best results.

Good point -- I have scheduled this for the 1.1 release and will try to find time to add it to the trunk shortly after 1.0 is released.

Adding OCLC number to the index can also help us further enhance VUFIND-303.

Does marc.properties also need a pattern match for the ocn prefix? See http://www.oclc.org/batchprocessing/controlnumber.htm and http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/worldcat/tb/253/.
