Supported fields

• resource_type

  • set to {"id":"dataset"} per default

• creators

  • Investigation data source: Investigation.Contacts

  • person_or_org record:

    field	source	note
    type	personal	set per default
    name	{Person.LastName}, {Person.FirstName}
    given_name	Person.FirstName
    family_name	Person.LastName
    identifiers	Person.Email; Person.Comments (for orcid)	contains an identifier record based on person metadata. Mandatory: email. Optional: Orcid

  • affiliation list:

    • Investigation data source: Person.Affiliation
    • this field is an object containing only the "name" field. it can subsequently be matched to exisiting affiliations in the invenio instance.

• title

  • Investigation data source: Investigation.Title

• description

  • Investigation data source: Investigation.Description

• publication_date

  • settable via --publication-date flag
  • defaults to current date
  • note that this should be changed downstream to the actual date of publishing, as the current date will be the date when the pipeline runs, not necessarily the actual publication date.

Development

Prerequisites:

• .NET 6.0 SDK
• For building/testing the container: docker

Building

in the repo root:

./build.cmd or ./build.sh

Testing

in the repo root:

./build.cmd runtests or ./build.sh runtests

Building the docker container

in the repo root:

docker build . -t arc-to-invenio

Usage

Command line

arc-to-invenio [--help] --arc-directory <path> [--out-directory <path>] [--publication-date <publication date>]
                      [--format-output]

OPTIONS:

    --arc-directory, -p <path>
                          Specify a directory that contains the arc to convert.
    --out-directory, -o <path>
                          Optional. Specify a output directory for the invenio metadata record.
    --publication-date, -pd <publication date>
                          Optional. ISO 8601 formatted (yyyy-MM-dd) publication date to set on the record
    --format-output, -fmt Optional. Wether or not to format the output json document (e.g. use identations and
                          mutliline)
    --help                display this list of options.

Docker

The CLI tool is built and added to path inside the container, so you can either:

1. Mount a directory containing the ARC to convert into the container and specify CLI args directly, e.g.

   docker run --mount type=bind,source=path/to/your/arc,target=/arc arc-to-invenio arc-to-invenio <arguments here>
   

2. Running conversion inside the container, e.g.

   docker run -it arc-to-invenio
   

   then - inside the container -

   arc-to-invenio <arguments here>
   

3. or combine these approaches, e.g

   docker run -it --mount type=bind,source=path/to/your/arc,target=/arc
   

   then - inside the container -

   arc-to-invenio <arguments here>
