eprinttools

This is a collection of command line tools and a web service written

in Go for working with EPrints 3.3.x EPrint XML, the EPrint REST API and

directly with the EPrints MySQL repository database(s). It is used by

Caltech Library to render our https://feeds.library.caltech.edu website as well as for

migrating content into a new repository system. Some of the command line

tools maybe of more generatl interest while others are specific to

Caltech Library’s needs. Much of the test code presumes access to our

repositories so is specific to our needs.

Go base code

The programs:





eputil is a command line utility for

interacting (e.g. harvesting) JSON and XML from EPrints’ REST API



minimal configuration (because it does so much less!)







epfmt is a command line utility to pretty

print EPrints XML and convert to/from JSON including a simplified JSON

inspired by DataCite and Invenion 3



doi2eprintxml is a command line

program for turning metadata harvested from CrossRef and DataCite into

an EPrint XML document based on one or more supplied DOI



ep3apid is a Unix style web service for

interacting with an EPrint repository via a localhost proxy. It includes

the ability to get restricted key lists as well as retrieve a simplified

JSON record representing an EPrints record



ep3harvester is an EPrints 3.x

metadata harvesting tool working at the MySQL 8 level for EPrints

content. It harvests the contents into a MySQL 8 database, one table per

eprints repository storing the harvested metadata in JSON columns. This

tool can also harvest CSV files with information for people and groups

referenced in the EPrints repositories.



ep3genfeeds is used to genate the

JSON documents that drive our feeds website.



ep3datasets is a tool to generate

dataset

collections from previously harvested EPrints repositories



Use cases

Two primary use cases have driven development of EPrinttools



Reusing the metadata and content in our EPrints 3.3.16 repositories

(see Caltech Library

Feeds



Populating our EPrints repository from standardize data sources (see

Acacia

Project).

py_dataset, This

Python module provides access to dataset collections which we use as

intermediate storage for JSON documents and related attachments.



AMES, The

eprintools command line programs have been made available to Python via

the AMES project. This include support for both read and write to

EPrints repository systems.
