# Pressbooks ## 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 Pressbooks Directory metadata. This plugin defines one or more: * `mimetypes` so that Pressbooks json data can be stored as enclosures in InterNetNews (INN) articles. * `newsgroups` so Pressbooks 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 Pressbooks data into an OME EducationalResource. * `pressbooks_models.py`: Generated by Pydantic tools to make it fast and reliable to import Pressbooks metadata. * `bulk_import.py`: Utilities to convert data directly from the Pressbooks API into OME EducationalResources. > [!NOTE] > > Please ***do NOT edit*** this line and below because when the docs are rebuilt, these lines will be overwritten by scripts/sync_plugin_docs.py. **MIMETYPES:** 1. application/vnd.pressbooks.book+json **NEWSGROUPS:** {'ome.pressbooks': 'Metadata from Pressbooks Directory open textbooks https://pressbooks.directory'} ```text server/plugins/pressbooks ├── __init__.py ├── bulk_import.py ├── plugin.py ├── pressbooks_article.eml ├── pressbooks_item.json ├── pressbooks_models.py ├── pressbooks_ome_item.json ├── pressbooks_python_books.json ├── pressbooks_university_books.json └── README.md 1 directory, 10 files ```
