registry loader does not employ the more flexible MetadataImporter
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DS-1173
URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1173
Project: DSpace
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: DSpace API
Affects Versions: 1.8.2
Environment: All
Reporter: Richard Jones
There is a registry loader command:
./dspace load-registry -dc [file path]
which loads dspace metadata registry format files into the registry. There is
a superior implementation of the metadata registry loader in
org.dspace.administer.MetadataImporter, and the registry loader does not use
this, but replicates old functionality which the MetadataImporter was written
to replace. The current registry loader, for example, dies if schema or
metadata entries are repeated, while the MetadataImporter simply skips repeated
options.
This is useful if you have a number of applications for your DSpace instance,
and metadata schemas for each of these applications (e.g. theses management,
research information data feeds, etc). With the MetadataImporter you can
maintain separate complete schemas for each application, load them all
sequentially (on top of the default dspace registry), and be sure that your
resulting registry is the super-set of all required metadata. With the
existing registry loader you must maintain exactly one de-duplicated schema
which covers all possible uses, which is inconvenient.
The ideal thing to do would be to wire the registry loader into the
MetadataImporter
