Bug Description

MARC 1xx/7xx fields offer a way to provide specific credit for a work, based on the $4 subfield relator codes defined in http://www.loc.gov/marc/relators/relacode.html

Currently, however, we simply throw "Added author" in as the label for a contributor, even if a $4 subfield is included.

Therefore, we can and should generate a relator map from the LoC documentation and use that to provide specific credit where credit is due.

See working/user/dbs/tpac_granular_credits for a branch that includes the script (build/tools/relator_map), the generated opac/parts/relators.tt2 file, and the modified opac/parts/record/authors.tt2 file to make use of the new relator map.

One little thing, I wasn't sure about whether we ought to make the relator_map script executable or not. I had to change that before I could run the script through.

Otherwise, neat change! Should we target this as a bug fix for versions using Tpac (2.2/2.3?) or aim as new feature (2.4). My feeling is that this is a bug by not presenting the information correctly.

Based on Dan's comment in IRC, I added a quick commit to my branch to change the relator_map script to be executable.

Note that a more robust approach would probably be to base the generated relator codes off of those available from http://id.loc.gov/ (which include formats like TSV that would be much less susceptible to change than the HTML page). Just a note for the future, mind you.

Well, missed 2.3.0 but I've committed it for 2.3.1 and master. Thanks for the testing and sign-off, Ben!
