Heris data import

This Step Plugin for Goobi workflow automatically requests specific monument information from an internal Vocabulary data source to map these fields into the METS file. It was developed for the Federa

Introduction

This plugin allows the data transfer of multiple metadata from a vocabulary into METS files. It was developed specifically for the Federal Monuments Office in Austria, so the metadata of the vocabulary are very individual and hard-coded. They originally come from the so-called HERIS database, which was imported within Goobi workflow as its own vocabulary.

Overview

Installation

The plugin consists in total of the following files to be installed:

goobi_plugin_step_herisimport.jar

This file must be installed in the following directory:

/opt/digiverso/goobi/plugins/step/goobi_plugin_step_herisimport.jar

Configuration

There is no independent configuration of the plugin, as the metadata to be imported has been hard-coded.

Integration of the plugin into the workflow

To put the plugin into operation, it must be activated for one or more desired tasks in the workflow. This is done as shown in the following screenshot by selecting the plugin intranda_step_herisimport from the list of installed plugins.

Since this plugin should usually be executed automatically, the workflow step should be configured as automatic.

How the plugin works

Once the plugin has been fully installed and set up, it is usually run automatically within the workflow, so there is no manual interaction with the user. Instead, calling the plugin through the workflow in the background does the following:

The plugin searches the METS file for a metadata with the name HerisID and subsequently imports a list of various metadata from the Heris vocabulary. The mapping of the metadata includes the following list:
