[Koha-devel] RFC: Renaming homebranch/holdingbranch in MARC21 Framework(s)

[Ryan Higgins]

I would like to change the default labels for homebranch & holdingbranch in the
MARC21 frameworks as follows:

homebranch :  Permanent Location   (from 'Location (homebranch)' )
holdingbranch:  Current Location       (from 'Sublocation or Collection (holdingbranch)' )

The current language for holdingbranch implies it is/could be a subset of homebranch,
and is confusing for new users of Koha.
This change should not impact translations, as the change occurs  only in the db-stored labels.

An alternative to 'Permanent Location' would be 'Owning Library'.

I think it would be better to implement this last-minute change than to commit ourselves
to labels that suggest a non-existent relation.  

Comments ?
