_id => 'fol05865967',
record => [
[ 'LDR', undef, undef, '_', '00661nam 22002538a 4500' ],
[ '001', undef, undef, '_', 'fol05865967' ],

'a', 'subfield is not repeatable',
'x', 'unknown subfield',
],
[ '999', undef, undef, '_', 'not a standard field']
]
};
# load default schema
my $schema = MARC::Schema->new();
my @check = $schema->check($record);
# load custom schema
my $schema = MARC::Schema->new(
{ fields => {
'001' => { label => 'Control Number', repetable => 0 }
}
}
);
my @check = $schema->check($record);

MARC::Schema defines a set of MARC21 fields and subfields to validate Catmandu::MARC records. A schema is given as hash reference such as:
{ fields => {
LDR => {
positions =>
[ { position => '00-04', label => 'Record length' } ],
repeatable => 0,
},
'001' => { label => 'Control Number', repeatable => 0 }
}
}For a more detailed description of the (default) schema see MARC21 structure in JSON.
METHODS
check( $record [, %options ] )
Check whether a given "Catmandu MARC21 record" record confirms to the schema and return a list of detected violations. Possible options include:
- ignore_unknown_fields
-
Don't report fields not included in the schema.
- ignore_unknown_subfields
-
Don't report subfields not included in the schema.
Errors are given as list of hash reference with keys label, message, repeatable, subfields and tag of the violated field. If key subfields is set, the field contained invalid subfields. The error field message contains a human-readable error message which for each violated field and/or subfield;
check_field( $field [, %options ] )
Check whether a MARC21 field confirms to the schema. Use same options as method check.
