What it does :

• slurps files : publisher csv, kbart files, XML exports from the SFX OpenURL resolver
• dedupe records using the identifiers it has, e.g. isbn / issn / sfx id...
• try to get Unimarc records matching these identifiers
• export those records as unimarc records or kbart files

• the Go programming language
• a few extra Go libraries:
  • bcrypt: $ go get golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt
  • bluemonday: $ go get github.com/microcosm-cc/bluemonday

  • mgo.v2/bson: $ go get gopkg.in/mgo.v2/bson
