# Thoth
## 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 Thoth Open Metadata.

This plugin defines one or more:

* `mimetypes` so that Thoth json data can be stored as enclosures in InterNetNews (INN) articles.
* `newsgroups` so Thoth 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 Thoth data into an OME EducationalResource.
* `thoth_models.py`: Generated by Pydantic tools to make it fast and reliable to import Thoth metadata.
* `bulk_import.py`: Utilities to convert data directly from the Thoth API into OME EducationalResources.
