The python script manager.py in this directory provide functionality required for ingestion (including OAI harvesting, semantic mapping (see repo 'md-mapping') and uploading to CKAN) of metadata in the B2FIND portal.

The sript manager.py uses the classes and functions from

"""B2FIND.py - classes for JMD management :

• CKAN_CLIENT Executes CKAN APIs (interface to CKAN)
• HARVESTER
• CONVERTER
• UPLOADER

Install required modules simplejson, sickle and e.g. by :

sudo pip install

or just by installing all modules listed in requirements.txt :

less requirements.txt sickle lxml simplejson python-Levenshtein git+https://github.com/noumar/iso639.git

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Or - if this not works for some reason for xml - try

sudo apt-get install python-lxml

or on systems with no apt-get but yum available :

sudo yum install python-lxml

or (if this is not workabl, e.g. on some SuSE distr.) try

sudo zypper install

And set PYTHONPATH to needed modules (must be downloaded if not available) :

setenv PYTHONPATH "/home/k204019/Downloads/PicklingTools151Release/Python"

manager.py [ OPTIONS ]

Management of meta data within EUDAT Joint Metadata Domain (JMD), i.e.

I. Ingestion of meta data comprising

• 1. Harvesting of XML files from OAI-PMH MD provider(s)
• 2. Converting XML to Jason and semantic mapping of tags to CKAN fields
• 3. Uploading resulting JSON {key:value} dict's as datasets to JMD portal

--version show program's version number and exit

--help, -h show this help message and exit

--verbose, -v increase output verbosity (e.g., -vv is more than -v)

--jobdir=JOBDIR directory where log, error and html-result files are stored. By default directory is created as startday/starthour/processid .

--mode= h | harvest | c | convert | u | upload | h-c | c-u | h-u | h-d | d | delete This can be used to do a partial workflow. If you use converting without uploading the data will be stored in .json files. Default is "h-u" which means a totally ingestion with (h)arvesting, (c)onverting and (u)ploading to a CKAN database.

--check_mappings=BOOLEAN Check all mappings which are stored in './maptables/' for converting the .xml in .json format and choose the mapping table with the best results.

--community=STRING, -c STRING community where data harvested from and uploaded to

--fromdate=DATE Filter harvested files by date (Format: YYYY-MM-DD-hh- mm-ss).

--epic_check=FILE check and generate handles of CKAN datasets in handle server EPIC and with credentials as specified in given credstore file

--ckan_check=BOOLEAN check existence and checksum against existing datasets in CKAN database

--outdir=PATH, -d PATH The absolute root dir in which all harvested files will be saved. The converting and the uploading processes work with the files from this dir. (default is '/oaidata')

Use these options if you want to ingest from a list in a file.

--list=FILE, -l FILE list of OAI harvest sources (default is ./harvest_list)

--parallel=PARALLEL [DEPRECATED]

Use these options if you want to ingest from only ONE source.

--source=PATH, -s PATH A URL to .xml files which you want to harvest

--verb=STRING Verbs or requests defined in OAI-PMH, can be ListRecords (default) or ListIdentifers here

--mdsubset=STRING Subset of harvested meta data

--mdprefix=STRING Prefix of harvested meta data

These options will be required to upload an dataset to a CKAN database.

--iphost=IP, -i IP IP adress of JMD portal (CKAN instance)

--auth=STRING Authentification for CKAN APIs (API key, iby default taken from file $HOME/.netrc)
