September

Core

Usability

The Goobi workflow creation screen has always prevented a process with the same name from being created again. You would then receive a short error message saying that the process already exists. This has been enhanced so that you can now also view the details of the existing process.

GoobiScript

The GoobiScript calls metadataAdd and metadataReplace can now also create or manipulate authority data values. This makes it possible, for example, to subsequently adjust the GND ID for persons in bulk.

At the same time, the GoobiScript metadataReplaceAdvanced was introduced. This call also allows you to work with regular expressions.

REST

September also brought changes to the REST interface, two new endpoints were added. The first allows a search and returns a list of process IDs:

Retrieve ids of processes satisfying the input condition.

Plugins

Import: Excel to EAD

An import plugin has been developed to create an EAD archive structure with metadata from an Excel file.

There was no dedicated Goobi workflow release in September.
