Introduction

This document and the ‘dublin-core-text-parser’ itself were originally created by Aidan Sawyer (email: aks5238 | github: atla5) in the Spring Semester of 2016.

If you have any questions understanding this documentation or using the parser, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Purpose

The purpose of this program, elaborated upon in the Purpose section of the wiki, is to improve the speed, specificity, simplicity, robustness, and agility of digital archive management. It is meant to simultaneously ease the initial transcription of metadata into
formats that allow for them to be edited and viewed by the best possible tools, and to facilitate their maintenance and propagation via web services.

Background

This program was created as part of my work digitizing a collection of school magazines at my local university. The work I put into creating the program, encouraged by my employer, is an improvement to the existing protocols I elaborate upon in the Background section of this wiki.

Usage Instructions

The general instructions for running the program are located in the readme within the project code. A more advanced explanation of each of the main steps can be found in the links below.

  1. Creating the Text Files

  2. Editing the Config File

  3. Creating the Shared File

  4. Running the Script

As I said before, please let me know if you have difficulty running the program, find any errors, or have any ideas or suggestions.
