Access host bibliographic record for "bound-with" relationships via API
Currently if you have two or more bibliographic records in a "bound-with" relationship via the 774 MARC field, the MARC data on the host bibliographic record contains the MMS ID of the child records, but there is no information on the child record to show the relationship. The Alma staff interface and the Primo interface clearly know that the relationship is there, because the holdings of the host bibliographic record are displayed in both interfaces. The information is clearly indexed, therefore, but is currently inaccessible to API users, limiting the ability to write scripts and interfaces that handle this concept.
The API should be improved to provide access to the linkage in both directions.
