Here are my suggestions to simplify the Validate METS XML section to avoid user confusion based on Tim's and my feedback from the initial user test we participated in:
Validate METS XML
This step validates the METS XML for each item supplied in the SOURCE_DIR. This includes validating that various sections of the METS XML exist, including metsHdr, amdSec, dmdSec, fileSec, structMap.
Other conditions checked are:
- confirming the files listed in the file section and the structural map match what was supplied in the
SOURCE_DIR - confirming the descriptive metadata matches what was supplied in the
EXPORT_DIR
For more information, see METS Validation documentation.
| Argument | Help |
|---|---|
| SOURCE_DIR | Path to a source directory (a shipment, collection, or item) |
| EXPORT_DIR | Path to a metadata export |
| -m, --mets | Validate METS XML |
An example of this command might look like:
$ python baroque.py SOURCE_DIR EXPORT_DIR -m/--mets or, with the optional destination argument...
$ python baroque.py SOURCE_DIR EXPORT_DIR -d/--destination REPORTS_DIR -m/--mets
