XSL converters between META-SHARE metadata schema and CMDI-META-SHARE metadata schemata

[JuliBakagianni]

To convert XML files between the two schemas, use the following XSL converters:

from MS to CMDI: metashareToCmdi.xsl & then remove_metashare_namespace.xsl from CMDI to MS: cmdiToMetashare.xsl & then remove_cmdi_namespace.xsl

@JuliBakagianni Are these converters supposed to be maintained under the META-SHARE umbrella or are these just copies from some other (upstream) project?

If the converters shall be maintained here, then could you please

• move the converters to a new subdirectory of the existing misc/tools/ directory, e.g., to misc/tools/CMDI/.
• add a README.txt file to the directory which explains what exactly these utilities do, how they are used, etc. Similar (short) XML comments in the converter files themselves would certainly be useful, too.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, @cspurk these converters and the ones to come (olac) are intrinsically part of the Metashare ecosystem and will be maintained here. Actually, this is (half of the) step facilitating LR metadata exchanges between Metashare and CMDI repos. The remaining part is the support of OAI-PMH and a way to envelop the CMDI-aware Metashare resources, something we've been working on and report shortly.

Thanks.
