XML:PublisherMerge

Introduction

The PublisherMerge submission merges 2 or more publishers into a single publisher.

Required Tags

The submission contains two required tags:

• KeepId - Required tag. Specifies which title record to retain.
• DropId - Required tag. Indicates the publisher record to drop. There may be more than one DropId tag.

Optional Tags

The PublisherMerge submission also contains a number of optional tags. These tags should be used whenever a particular field differs between the merged titles. Each used tag refers to a publisher record number. When the submission is integrated, the value associated with the named record will be retained. The following optional tags are supported:

• Name - Record number of the desired publisher name.
• Note - Record number of the desired note.
• Wikipedia - Record number of the desired Wikipedia URL.
• Webpages - Record number of the desired webpages.
