Managing Datasets for Ingest

This documentation describes EHRI's tools for managing, transforming and ingesting structured data collection descriptions. In a nutshell, it allows administrators to:

• manually upload or harvest data in XML or CSV format

• validate XML against EHRI's EAD schema

• transform arbitrary XML to EAD using either XSLT or tabular XQuery mappings

• ingest the resulting EAD XML (or CSV) into the EHRI portal

• perform cleanup actions to keep the EHRI portal in sync with third-party datasets

Accessing the Import Manager

The Import Manager can be accessed via the "Ingest" section on the institutions admin page.

Overview of the Import Manager

The Import Manager home page has four tabs:

• Datasets

• Content Snapshots

• Coreference Table

• Import Logs

For common cases you'll only have to use the Datasets tab. See here for info about transformation datasets via XSLT or XQuery.
