ST_GeomFromMARC21 — Takes MARC21/XML geographic data as input and returns a PostGIS geometry object.
geometry ST_GeomFromMARC21 (
text marcxml )
;
This function creates a PostGIS geometry from a MARC21/XML record, which can contain a POINT
or a POLYGON
. In case of multiple geographic data entries in the same MARC21/XML record, a MULTIPOINT
or MULTIPOLYGON
will be returned. If the record contains mixed geometry types, a GEOMETRYCOLLECTION
will be returned. It returns NULL if the MARC21/XML record does not contain any geographic data (datafield:034).
LOC MARC21/XML versions supported:
Availability: 3.3.0, requires libxml2 2.6+
The MARC21/XML Coded Cartographic Mathematical Data currently does not provide any means to describe the Spatial Reference System of the encoded coordinates, so this function will always return a geometry with |
