Migration from ISAN schema 2.1 to ISAN schema 3.0
ISAN schema 3.0 differs significantly from ISAN schema 2.1. Major differences are the following:
- Series in v3.0 have an extended dataset:
- Serial Headers in v2.1 have been replaced by a Series record (with a full dataset) in v3.0
- A Group record has been added to v3.0. Groups are used to identify groups of episodes as for example seasons in fictional series or thematics in documentary series.
- Versions have been redesigned in v3.0
- Existing controlled vocabularies have been extended and code values have changed
- Existing data fields have been renamed for more consistency
