RW:
* to create a new filter you must ask and make a suggestion to the producer |
Pr: 1 copy and drag-and-drop; 2, 3, 4, requires separate application program: BiblioLink; 5, 6, 7 |
En: 1 copy and drag-and-drop 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 yes Windows (Scholar Google included) (for Mac see Other features); 9 can import from its own EndNote's XML basic format
|
RM: 1, 2, 3, 4 modify and save under different name 5 7 9 can import from RM and EndNote XML proprietary format
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
B - Can import delimited/tabbed stuctured input ASCII text file[more specific features that could be taken into account: fixed/variable number of fields; fixed/variable fields position in different RTs ; RT can be changed; multiple value fields allowed (e.g. more names in author field ...) ; fields contents can also spread over different lines; can define field separator ; can replace delimiter if embedded in field; can define end of record] |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| RW: no | Pr: yes
fixed or variable number of fields ( RT; RN; plus all 45 fields or only workform related); fixed position of fields;RT cannot be changed, must be present as the first field or last used in data entry be assumed by default; multiple value fields allowed, if separated by // / or ; in name field; fields content can spread over more than one line; can define field separator; can replace delimiter if embedded in field contents; can define end-of-record |
En: yes
Tabbed where number of fields and their position can vary: Tab delimited: special first line for reference type and second with fields names labels according to the receiving EndNote RT; no fixed position required; recognizes multiple authors (since v. 9 the CDF ready-made option for ProCite has been discontinued); RT can be changed and multiple value fields are allowed |
RM: no, officially not available
You can (try to) create your own capture definition to import comma delimited records. None is provided. Fully undocumented. Not simple at all: use only one destination field "Source" with subfields and its parsing option. Assume you succeed (but practically: out of question), the answers to this item would be: number and position of fields can vary according to the specified RT; more than one RT can be defined; multiple value fields allowed; fields content can spread over more than one line; can define field separator; can replace delimiter if embedded in field contents; can define end-of-record. Never tried with tabbed files. |

C - Can import alpha/numeric data from a spreadsheet |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| RW: it can import from MS Excel via data manipulation : data has to be transformed into RW native tagged format | Pr: yes as long as it is a comma/tab delimeted structured file | En: yes as long as it is a tab delimited or tagged structured file, see above 2 | RM: see above 2 delimited/tabbed ... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
D - Can import ISO 2709 format |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| RW: no | Pr: no | En: no | RM: no | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
E - Can import MARC format file |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| RW: yes (pre-defined filters for: DANMARC, MARC21, UNIMARC); filters are also available to import via Z39.50 from MARC records servers such as library catalogs | Pr: one has to create its own filter for a tagged MARC format (without leader and directory and each field on a different line), alternatively, download records through Z39.50 online connection and MARC tagged modifiable filters (limited options to handle subfields in names) | En: one has to create its own filter for a tagged MARC format (without leader and directory, each field on a different line), then a series of specific options for handling MARC tagged records is provided (e.g. subfields to a limited extent ...); alternatively download records through Z39.50 online connection and tagged MARC filters, already made and modifiable (limited options to handle subfields in names) |
RM: filters for tagged USMARC are available -others can be created, e.g. for UNIMARC as well- to download and import records through Z39.50 online connection
it is more than difficult to deal with embedded subfields codes for the whole import procedure is poorly documented as far as complex issues are concerned |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
F - Custom reformatting of tagged structured input ASCII text files:
|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| RW: filters are canned and users do not have access to them;
they clearly perform some of these tasks out of user's control |
Pr: 1 only: "when using workform [X], do not transfer field(s) ..." (field mapping depending on RT); 2; 3; 4; 5; 7; 8; 9 | En: 2; 3; 4; 5; 6 no ; 7; 8 (any field); 9 only omitting strings for each single field | RM: 1 to replace text or not; 2; 3; 4; 5 (seven predefined patterns: author, periodical, date etc.: Source field lets indicate delimiters, also commas and tabs); 6 (four keywords + date stamping --settings are not at the filter level but in the import window); 7; 8 (also Casing Term Dictionary); 9; also "Periodical term Dictionary" for terms without periods in abbreviated titles that are not abbreviated words | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
G - Import through embedded Z39.50 online connection
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| RW: yes, can import data, users can create basic connection files;
1 cannot modify filters: make suggestions to the producer to do it |
Pr: yes (via incorporated subset of BookWhere® client); yes | En: yes (via incorporated proprietary toolkit, Yaz based); yes | RM: yes (via incorporated subset of BookWhere® client); yes | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I - Supplied import filters |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| RW: ca 1090 shipped (cannot create more, see above) | Pr: hundreds + others definable via Biblio-Link + direct export from several databases | En: > 575 + can define others with no limitations: each is a separate file | RM: some 435 shipped (can create more with no limitations, via IFE Import Field Editor) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
