Oliver Bertuch (Mar 09 2023 at 21:28): Oliver Bertuch (Mar 09 2023 at 21:28):https://github.com/gdcc/mdbtool is the place where the magic happens. Moving things from https://github.com/poikilotherm/dataverse/tree/7662-solrconfig into that repo so it is easier to reuse. Also after talking to Jan Range yesterday, in the middle of reshaping this from TSV only into a model based approach, hopefully making it reusable for other source and target formats
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 09 2023 at 21:33):Sounds good. In case you haven't seen it, a few hours ago beep posted some stuff about JSON Schema and CEDAR and TSVs, but I'm not sure if it will help your effort or not: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/7173#issuecomment-1462301582
Oliver Bertuch (Mar 09 2023 at 21:36):Yeah, seen that. It's somewhat related, but not very strongly to mdbtool right now.
Oliver Bertuch (Mar 09 2023 at 21:37):mdbtool for instance is at least for the time being not at all related to #7173
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 09 2023 at 21:39):Fair enough. Thanks. Go, go go!
Oliver Bertuch (Mar 09 2023 at 21:54):Would you say 40 chars for a metadata field title is "relatively brief"? (https://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/admin/metadatacustomization.html#datasetfield-field-properties)
Oliver Bertuch (Mar 09 2023 at 21:56):BTW it's crazy how these metadata fields are only hold together by duct tape in the main Dataverse code. There is at base no validation of a TSV piped into the API.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 09 2023 at 21:56):coverage.Spectral.CentralWavelength is 35
Oliver Bertuch (Mar 09 2023 at 21:57):Is that a title? Looks like a name
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 09 2023 at 21:57):Oh, you're right, it's a name.
Oliver Bertuch (Mar 09 2023 at 21:57):(Violating the spec BTW as it contains a dot. Solr does not prohibit dots but strongly encourages you to not go beyond alphanumeric + underscore)
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 09 2023 at 22:00):Topic Classification Controlled Vocabulary Name is 47.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 09 2023 at 22:00):curl -s https://demo.dataverse.org/api/metadatablocks/citation | jq '.data.fields[].displayName' -r
Oliver Bertuch (Mar 09 2023 at 22:03):Perfect. I was already starting to grep and cut the TSVs :-D
Oliver Bertuch (Mar 09 2023 at 22:03):OK I'll make it 60 then
Oliver Bertuch (Mar 09 2023 at 22:03):"Brief"... :melting_face:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 09 2023 at 22:04):Like the Journal of Brief Ideas. :happy:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Apr 18 2023 at 13:47):@Sherry Lake started a thread about hacking on metadata blocks and I just suggested that she could probably do this in Docker.
Oliver Bertuch (Apr 18 2023 at 13:54):That's the idea! These containers are perfect for ephemeral throwaways to test these things. Break it, dump it, start over

Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jun 13 2023 at 20:52):Is this related? Add use cases to get the tsvs of the Metadata Blocks #63 - https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse-client-javascript/issues/63
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Sep 07 2023 at 11:13):Huh, where are the 17 moved message?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Sep 20 2023 at 15:34):@Vera Clemens just posted some code that seems related: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/9463#issuecomment-1727612855
