MARC::Schema defines a set of MARC21 fields and subfields to validate Catmandu::MARC records. A schema is given as hash reference such as:

    {   fields => {
            LDR => {
                positions =>
                    [ { position => '00-04', label => 'Record length' } ],
                repeatable => 0,
            },
            '001' => { label => 'Control Number', repeatable => 0 }
        }
    }

For a more detailed description of the (default) schema see MARC21 structure in JSON <https://pkiraly.github.io/2018/01/28/marc21-in-json/>.

Check whether a given "Catmandu::Importer::MARC" or "MARC::Parser::*" <https://metacpan.org/search?q=%22MARC%3A%3AParser%22> record confirms to the schema and return a list of detected violations. Possible options include:

Don't report fields not included in the schema.
Don't report subfields not included in the schema.

Errors are given as list of hash references with keys "error", "tag", "type" and "value" of the violated field. "error" contains a human-readable error message for each violated field and/or subfield.

Check whether a MARC21 field confirms to the schema. Use same options as method "check".
