Imeji ingest

This page describes the ingest feature in imeji

Description

• The ingest feature is used to ingest metadata into imeji (which avoid to enter "manually" these metadata). This feature is only accessible for the imeji system administrator. There are 2 different ingest:

1. Metadata profile ingest: Ingest a Metadata profile into a collection
2. Item Ingest: Ingest the Metadata into the item

• The ingest workflow is the following:

1. Create a collection (profile is created with the collection)
2. Import files (images, videos, or audios) (item are created in the collection)
3. Use the download feature for the profile (collection -> view metadata -> view xml) and the item (collection -> view images -> download as imeji format)
4. Edit the Metadata profile xml:
   • This must be done according to the imeji format. For more information, contact the support list: imeji-support@gwdg.de
5. Ingest the edited profile xml
6. Edit the item list xml
   • Again, this must stricly follow the imeji format.
   • The Metadata must be defined with the real statement. The id of this statement can be found on the Collection - view Metadata page.
7. Ingest the edited item list xml
