get all the tags for a list of objects

bulkGetTagsScript.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# usage is ruby bulkGetTagsScript.rb env druid-list.txt
# where env is the environment in which you want to run the script (production, test, development)
# and druid-list.txt is the list of druids you want to bulk close.
 
unless(ARGV.first.nil?)
  ENV['ROBOT_ENVIRONMENT'] = ARGV.first
end
 
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../config/boot')
 
#pull the file from the commandline argument and read each line into the druids array
druids = []
druidlist = File.open(ARGV.second)
druidlist.each_line {|line|
  druids.push line.chomp
}
 
druids.each do |druid|
  begin
    #format the druids
    druid = "druid:#{druid}" unless druid.start_with?('druid')
    #make sure that they exist in dor
    @object=Dor::Item.find(druid)
    #output the druid and the tag for the object
    #to do: the output isn't really a .csv file.  i need to figure out how to format the tags so that they display nicely
    p "#{druid}, #{@object.identityMetadata.tag}"
  end
end
puts "Done!"

when doing bulk remediation of tags in argo, if you don't include existing tags when running the remediation, they are wiped from the identityMetadata. you could pull a report from Argo that gives you the tags, however if the objects are not grouped together in anyway (ie via a tag, a collection, an apo) then there is no easy way to get the tags.

i created this script to help me pull all the tags from a random list of druids.
