ARCHE Constants Metadata Creator

This Repository is used to create Baserow tables for creating ARCHE Metadata. It creates the following tables:

• Classes (All available vocabs:ARCHE classes like: Project, TopCollection, Collection, etc.)
• Properties (All available vocabs:ARCHE properties like: hasTitle, hasDescription, etc.)
• Vocabs (All available vocabularies from vocabs.acdh.oeaw.ac.at.)
• Project (A table linked to all other tables for creating ARCHE constants project metadata.)
• Persons (A table for creating ARCHE constants person metadata.)
• Organizations (A table for creating ARCHE constants organization metadata.)
• Places (A table for creating ARCHE constants places metadata.)

Usage (Github Actions)

Setup Baserow (Github Actions)

• Login to Baserow and create a new workspace for a project. In this workspace, create a new database and note the database ID.
• Then create a new API token in Baserow.
• Fork this repository and add the API token to the secrets of the Github repository as BASEROW_TOKEN.
• Add more secrets for the user as BASEROW_USER and password as BASEROW_PW.
• Trigger the workflow manually. This will require the input of the Baserow Database ID you want to use.

Baserow Data Dump and Turtle (ttl) Serialization (Github Actions)

• Requires the same Github secrets as above.
• Trigger the workflow manually. This will require the input of the Baserow Database ID you want to use and the ARCHE project Name = TopCollection name in format my-project-identifier.

Installation and Usage (Local)

Setup Baserow (Local)

Make sure enviroment variables are set for Baserow (see .secret.example):

• BASEROW_USER (Baserow username)
• BASEROW_PW (Baserow password)
• BASEROW_TOKEN (Baserow API token)
• BASEROW_DB_ID (Baserow Database ID)

Then run the following commands:

python -m venv venv # create a virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate # activate the virtual environment

pip install -r requirements.txt # install python dependencies

python scripts/arche2json.py # create json files from ARCHE Schema
python scripts/vocabs2json.py # create json files from vocabs.acdh.oeaw.ac.at
python scripts/arche2baserow.py # upload json files to baserow to create tables

Baserow Data Dump and Turtle (ttl) Serialization (Local)

• Requires the same environment variables as above.
• Additional environment variable: PROJECT_NAME (ARCHE project Name = TopCollection name in format my-project-identifier)

Then run the following commands:

python -m venv venv # create a virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate # activate the virtual environment

pip install -r requirements.txt # install python dependencies

python scripts/baserow_dump.py # fetch data from baserow and denormalized it
python scripts/arche_constants.py # create ttl file from denormalized data
