# ERIC
## Open Metadata Exchange (OME) plugin

An OME plugin defines how to import and publish metadata from an Open Education Resources system.

`plugin.py` provides the class that enables OME to understand ERIC metadata.

This plugin defines one or more:

* `mimetypes` so that ERIC json data can be stored as enclosures in InterNetNews (INN) articles.
* `newsgroups` so ERIC metadata can be published to and subscribed from those INN newsgroups.

The plugin is composed of at least three code files.

* `plugin.py`: Defines `mimetypes`, `newsgroups`, and a `make_metadata_card()` function that translates ERIC data into an OME EducationalResource.
* `eric_models.py`: Generated by Pydantic tools to make it fast and reliable to import ERIC metadata.
* `bulk_import.py`: Utilities to convert data directly from the ERIC API into OME EducationalResources.
* `fetch_eric_open_records.py`: Downloads ERIC open records from the ERIC API.
* `load_eric_open_records_to_nntp.py`: Loads ERIC records into the default NNTP server.
