Easy way to pull down metadata sans DGI?

[Audrey Sage Lorberfeld]

Hi Islandora Hive Mind,

We at the Academy are wondering if any of you who subscribe to Discovery Garden know of a way to pull metadata down from your Islandora instance without having to go through DGI? It is unlikely that there is a way to do this without direct access to our Fedora server, but I thought I would inquire here first. 

Thank you!

Best,

Audrey

Hi Audrey,

There are numerous ways to export your metadata on your own, but it really depends on what you're looking for and what kind of access and capabilities you have. MODS or DC datastreams? Check Islandora Labs for things like this: https://github.com/Islandora-Labs/islandora_datastream_exporter (requires SSH access to your repository)

Another method: The Move to Islandora Kit can download MODS or DC (and, optionally, objects) from the OAI-PMH endpoint using the OAI toolchain: https://github.com/MarcusBarnes/mik (does NOT require SSH access to your repository, but you will have to install MIK on your machine, write a config file, etc.) Check the wiki for detailed instructions and sample files.

Another method you can access via the UI (which I haven't tried myself) is Islandora BagIt: https://github.com/Islandora/islandora_bagit

Hope that helps!

Hi Audrey,

If you have a list of PIDs that you would like to get your metadata for, this script (from Don Moses) will grab your MODS.  It just runs through the list and uses curl to pull down the MODS datastream from the Islandora server.

#!/bin/bash

for PID in `cat pid_list.txt`

do

## get the MODS ds using the pattern of an islandora URL 

## and write it out to a file in the local directory

curl http:// [insert server name here] /islandora/object/$PID/datastream/MODS/download > $PID"_mods.xml"

## rename the file to get rid of the colon in the PID

mv $PID"_mods.xml" `echo $PID"_mods.xml" | sed s/:/_/` 

done

Simple, but it does the job nicely.

I hope this helps.

Brian

Hi Audrey,

If you don't have a list of PIDs (e.g., you want MODS for all objects or on a collection by collection basis), I'd look into Brandon's suggestion of using the Move to Islandora Kit's OAI harvesting capabilities. If you want some assistance, let me know.

Depends on what exactly you are looking for / your use case. Are some modules that exist that meet particular use cases such as: https://github.com/discoverygarden/islandora_zip_download, which provides an export handler to Bookmarks to download parts of Fedora objects in ZIP files (requires Gearman). Is also: https://github.com/Islandora-Labs/islandora_datastream_exporter, which is a lighter version of the former but would require shell access to run a drush command. In terms of a bulk UI option I'm not sure there exists one in the core suite of modules as of current.

Hi All, 

Thank you so much for all of these helpful responses. I have to figure out some quick things on my end, and I will get back to this thread shortly! 

Thank you again!

Best,
