E-ARK CSIP METS Profile Processor

Java SAX based XML processor for the CSIP METS Profile. Performs the following tasks:

• schema aware parsing and validation of the METS profile;
• generation of metadata requirements tables from Profile requirements;
• checks for duplicate requirement ID allocation; and
• reports gaps in the ID sequence (in preparation for deprecation reporting).

Quick Start

Build from source

This is a Java project and is built using Maven. You'll need a copy of this project sub-directory, from a git clone, git clone https://github.com/DILCISBoard/E-ARK-CSIP.git or a source package download.

From within this project sub-directory, e.g. mets-profile-processor issue the Maven command: mvn clean package to run tests and build.

Class overview

It's just a basic SAX processor for the profile with some Markdown output.

eu.dilcis.csip.MetsProfileProcessor

Main entry point for fat JAR package, sequences parsing user input and running the SAX handler.

eu.dilcis.csip.ProcessorOptions

Parses the String args array and records the user options in a dedicated class.

eu.dilcis.csip.profile.MetsProfileXmlHandler

SAX event driven handler for METS Profile, parses Requirements lists from Profile XML document.

eu.dilcis.csip.OutputHandler

Buffers XML element text and handles output (for now.....)

ToDo ?

• Stronger data typing for eu.dilcis.csip.profile.MetsProfileXmlHandler.Requirement
• Requirement validation, e.g. non-empty fields etc.
• Group think for other validation activities.
• Markdown table generation
• index.md file template selection
• index.md file template substitution
• Generalise vanilla METS Profile handling to base class
• fix SaxExceptions from OutputHandler class
