Provide a way to generate output for loading entities #469

Open mjordan opened 6 years ago

mjordan commented 6 years ago

I want to batch load people entities into Islandora. Scholar's CSV entity importer seems to come with a lot of caveats and AFAICT you can't load thumbnails using it. I've tried loading a few MADS.xml files using Islandora Batch but that didn't work well (maybe I missed something) but my Batch With Derivs module worked great. I've opened an issue there: ~https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/ISLANDORA/Entities+Solution+Pack~ https://github.com/mjordan/islandora_batch_with_derivs/issues/7

I'm going to try to use the MIK Templated toolchain to generate the MADS.xml and report back.

I've got this working with the addition only of a custom post-write hook script. I've started a wiki page at https://github.com/MarcusBarnes/mik/wiki/Cookbook:-Generating-MADS-and-accompanying-thumbnails-for-batch-loading-entities.
