 Description   
RDA adds a new MARC field which contains publication information:

http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd264.html

We should update the indexing routines for publisher names and publication dates to account for the existence of this field.

The initial strategy we’ve come up with at Villanova is to only worry about 264 fields with indicator 2 set to 1 (publication) or 4 (copyright) – and publication will trump copyright if both exist. For now we’re ignoring production, distribution and manufacture – we’ll figure out what to do with these if there seems to be an actual use case for them. If multiple dates are involved, we’ll pick the earliest one for sorting purposes.

In summary:

- If publication and copyright date both exist, prefer publication date
- If two dates of the same type exist, prefer the earlier date

It is going to take some custom programming to implement this routine, and I’m going to hold off on writing the code until I have a good set of sample data. If you have any real-life MARC records with detailed 264 records and don’t mind sharing them, that might help me get started -- feel free to post them here. Otherwise, I’ll wait until they start appearing on our end.

I've made some progress on the date portion of the problem -- see r1702 of SolrMarc for details. I'll work on the publisher portion and the VuFind display side shortly.

I've also made progress on the publisher portion of the problem -- see r1703 of SolrMarc. Next up: adjusting the MARC record driver within VuFind.

BeanShell version of indexing support committed to master here as a placeholder until next SolrMarc release can be used for compiled Java versions:

This issue is now fully resolved (except for the SolrMarc upgrade covered by VUFIND-815).
