Import from XML
It is prefered to get xml-data from the archives.
Internally MOM-CA uses the CEI-Monasterium schema (http://www.monasterium.net/mom/resource/?atomid=tag:www.monasterium.net,2011:/mom/resource/xsd/cei). Archival fonds should be described in EAD.
To import data in these or other formats there is a import wizard helping you with test routines, simulations and storage of preliminary used files like conversion stylesheets. The wizard accepts the original data, shows you in case you have to use a conversion stylesheet an editor for your stylesheet, validates the result against the MOM-CEI schema, lets you simulate the ingest and finally does the ingest.
To use the import wizard you have to be asigned the 'metadata-manager' role. Before you start the wizard, you have to create the collection or fonds in which you want to import the data. After the import you can preview the data from the last step in the wizard or via the list of fonds / collections to be published ( archives -> publish fond resp. collections -> publish collection. This is also the place to publish imported fonds/collections. When reimporting a fonds/collection the existing public data will be replaced completely.
The CEI-MOM-schema defines the elements and attribtutes to be editable in the MOM-CA-editor at ./xs:annotation/xs:appinfo/xrxe:relevant, so it is a good decision to map your data preferable to these elements. Stiftsarchiv Geras, Urkunden 1303 VII 12 gives you an example with extensive markup (although it does not include the full range of possible markup). The only mandatory elements are cei:idno and cei:issued/cei:date@value (default: 99999999 representing an unkown date) for each charter.
Archival fonds can be decribed with the usual vocabulary of EAD at the "collection"-level.
A draft of a proposal how to encode single charters (at the "item"-level) with EAD for MOM-CA has been developed in several technical meetings. A first example is already online, which follows this schema. You can even try a preliminary stylesheet to convert the EAD to the CEI-MOM format.
It is possible to import the XML-data directly into the MOM-CA-database. Please contact [email protected] to discuss the necessary steps.
You will have to write your own XSLT conversion to create a document valid to the CEI describe above, but MOM-CA allows you to store that together with your preliminary import data and test it with the MOM-CA import wizard.
