dris workflows just got uploaded to github

After almost 3 months supervising and working with two interns I’ve finally uploaded their work under the GPLv2 License.

Please note that the packages above do not represent DRI at all, they just ended up getting labelled that way for whatever reason.

So what are the above packages? Well they are an attempt at creating a workflow for the DRIS team in TCD who work on digital preservation, digitisation, cataloging and a host of other tasks which I probably don’t know about.

The prototype system consists of the DRIS Workflows package and the API server. The system currently target the problem of ingesting objects. It tries to map what the librarians/archivists at TCD are doing to a single interface to increase throughput and quality of the work (amongst other things).

It’s also able to export the internal meta-data as Dublin-Core, it’s not great right now and requires more work and there is a small start made on MODS as well. It does demonstrate what the interns managed to achieve in 3 months time with a loose spec on what needed to be done. The basic design and architecture of the system isn’t too different from Hydra, it was very much by accident that we ended up some similar ideas.

The primary purpose of this post is to share the code! and as per usual, hope someone finds it useful.
