Purpose

In preparing to add File Level metadata to Dataverse these are notes on several places where experience has shown that the API could be improved.

Adding an Email value to a Dataset's Metadata

Expected code (java)

FITS file level metadata

• Current (4/2016) handling of FITS metadata includes:

  • Extra information in the file description field which shows up on the cards
  • The addition of a FITS file tag

• Reference document for the File level metadata BRD

Example FITS file

Scenario

• Django 1.9 application with two databases:
  • Legacy database with readonly access via unmanaged models. Both Django models (models.py) and related migrations have "managed" set to False
    • 'managed': False
  • Default database holding django specific tables (e.g. auth_user, django_content_type, etc)

Testing Woes

• For testing I want to re-create the legacy database tables. In other words, during python manage.py test, tell Django to set "managed" to True
  • There are several excellent blog posts on how to set "managed" to True during tests:

@leonid_andreev :

Ingest thoughts for another release.

Current Scenario: User uploads files to dataset (before save)

Tracking lots of non-persisted objects

• We currently create non-persisted DataFile and FileMetadata objects linked to a non-persisted DatasetVersion

glassfish

• unpack glassfish 4.1 into new “dv_goodfish” directory

cd ~/Documents/dv_glassfish/
unzip glassfish-4.1.zip  
mv glassfish4 dv_goodfish2

• Go from a gsonObject object -> String -> jsonObjectBuilder

    public static JsonObjectBuilder convertGsonObjectToJsonObjectBuilder(String successMsg, JsonObject gsonObject) {
        JsonObjectBuilder jsonObjectBuilder = Json.createObjectBuilder();
        jsonObjectBuilder.add("message", successMsg);
        JsonReader jsonReader = Json.createReader(new StringReader(gsonObject.toString()));
        javax.json.JsonObject object = jsonReader.readObject();
 jsonObjectBuilder.add("files", object.get("files"));
