Sprint Progress/Update

Great progress! Several PRs in progress (see below). The spreadsheet is nicely filled. Danny will pick up some of the leftovers. Sprint ends Friday. Once complete, we'll do an editorial pass and rearrange the table of contents to make better sense of the new content.

Islandora CLAW REST Ingester redux

Mark did a demo a year ago when this was brand new. Now it's cleaned up & improved. The ideal goal is to make this a desktop tool: take a CVS and files and ingest things through a GUI. UNLV needs this too, so there may be a collaboration.

Bottom line: clear, user-friendly GUI for batch uploading. This could be very nice for Islandora 8.

@ajstanley is now a co-maintainer of https://www.drupal.org/project/orcid ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

This is functional now. Allow you to log in to an Islandora 8 site if you have an Orchid ID and you're already logged in to Orchid. Admin features ot let Orchid ID holders automatically connect.

This is a great example of supporting a Drupal thing to do an Islandora thing, and making it better for Drupal in general.

Book model up on github to go with an associated batch ingest. We need to evaluate this.

Work in progress. Main showpiece is the batch ingest, which could be used with other content types. Uses a CSV that lists out headers and fields. To ingest right now you need: a CSV, fill out a batch form, a directory in uploads staging area with the batch name; each book has its own directory; inside that directory there's a CSV named the same as the book directory; in that CSV, the headers are the fields of the content type you're using. Then you list pages. UTA has a script to write those CSV manifests so you don't have to type out each page. Image files are in the directory with the CSV.

We got to see a demo with real live books stored in islandora 8, complete with page navigation 😍

Progress on fcrepo-camel-toolbox for #1029 by @whikloj: https://github.com/fcrepo4-exts/fcrepo-camel-toolbox/pull/143

Things are kind of broken. Jared has it nearly fixed.

Extra Question Time

Question: Is the latest vagrant Fedora 4 or 5?

It's 5. This changed a couple of months ago. There's very little difference, none of it all that visible.

Question on book. Example: if you can use a repo item as a book item, is each page on its own a repo item as well?

Drupal use to do that, but as of 8.4 or 8.5, they can be any content type. The UTA book batch uploader is hard coded to use book for pages, but that can be generalized.

Seth has been doing massive content migration and running into some issues with derivative generation. Now working on a script that would allow you to after-the-fact add thousands of migrations in batches to the queue. Steps: do the migrations, giving everything an original File. The script looks for instances that don't have service files, and kicks of derivative generation. Currently optimizing so it won't destroy your system
