Merge Data from getmarc server

Added in version 0.4

This workflow is used to merge data in a tsv file with metadata from a getmarc server.

Prerequisites

In order to perform this workflow, the get_marc_server_url configuration in galatea needs to be set.

To verify that this has been configured, use the config command.

If get_marc_server_url is set, a value will show. If get_marc_server_url is not set, it can be set with config set command.

For example, galatea config set get_marc_server_url https://example.com/ will configure galatea to use a getmarc server at https://example.com/

Workflow

1. If not using an existing mapping toml file, generate a new one with merge-data from-getmarc init-mapper command.

   user@WORKMACHINE123 % galatea merge-data from-getmarc init-mapper myfile.tsv
   Wrote mapping file to /Users/user/mapping.toml
   

2. Edit the content of the created mapping toml file in a text editor.

   • Make sure the identifier_key is set to column containing the mmsid in the tsv file.

     [mappings]
     identifier_key = "Bibliographic Identifier"
     

   • For each column expected to have data added to, edit each [[mapping]] section.

     See Mapping Fields section for more details

3. Merge the data with the merge command

   user@WORKMACHINE123 % galatea merge-data from-getmarc merge myfile.tsv /Users/user/mapping.toml
   

For information on the mapping file, see the Getmarc Merge Mapper Toml File documentation.
