Hi,
I'm preparing an image donation of some 350 picture books from 1810 to 1880 (taken
from the collection
http://www.geheugenvannederland.nl/?/en/collecties/prentenboeken_van_1810_t…)
For every book I've constructed an XML file describing the pages (metadata). So eg.
for a book of 20 pages I've an XML with 20 records. I can upload these in the normal
way via the GWToolset webinterface, also assigning a Commons category to the book.
For 1 book that's doable, but for 350 books I would need to upload 350 XML files, 1 by
1, using the GWT-webinterface (using the same json mapping file for all uploads). But this
would take me a lot of time (and it's rather boring)...
So I'm wondering if / how I could automate this. Is there a more direct/efficient
way?
I can image that I could do some command line interfacing (Pywiki??), with the XML, the
json-mapping and the target Commonscat-name as input parameters. Would that be an option?
Any tricks, tips & directions are very welcome
Met vriendelijke groet / With kind regards
