20 =head1 NAME
22 C4::Linker - Base class for linking authorities to bibliographic records
24 =head1 SYNOPSIS
26 use C4::Linker (%params );
28 =head1 DESCRIPTION
30 Base class for C4::Linker::X. Subclasses need to provide the following methods
32 B<get_link ($field)> - return the authid for the authority that should be
33 linked to the provided MARC::Field object, and a boolean to indicate whether
34 the match is "fuzzy" (the semantics of "fuzzy" are up to the individual plugin).
35 In order to handle authority limits, get_link should always end with:
36 return $self->SUPER::_handle_auth_limit($authid), $fuzzy;
38 B<update_cache ($heading, $authid)> - updates internal linker cache for
39 $heading with $authid of a new created authotiry record
41 B<flip_heading ($field)> - return a MARC::Field object with the heading flipped
42 to the preferred form.
