View Titel: Embargo

Closed this issue · 4 comments

The field embargo of a title contains several details in one field: type, unit and duration. That is usually a bad practice because it adds complexity into development where it is not needed and we have no reason to save some bytes nowadays. So I suggest to split this field into three fields.

this implementation follows the KBART standard (see KBART_Phase_2_Dokumentation.pdf section 6.6.14) as well as the expectations from LAS:eR which uses exactly the same format. Changing the implementation only exagerrates complexity without adding any value.

code duplication by design

@dirk-ecker : As we've discussed today, you have already implemented the UI. Does this issue need something on the backend side? Otherwise, please close this issue.

You could use it to further improve the database. ;-)
but it is no problem for me to close it.
