# World Historical Gazetteer ## 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 World Historical Gazetteer (WHG) metadata. This plugin defines one or more: * `mimetypes` so that WHG json data can be stored as enclosures in InterNetNews (INN) articles. * `newsgroups` so WHG 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 WHG data into an OME EducationalResource. * `whg_models.py`: Generated by Pydantic tools to make it fast and reliable to import WHG metadata. * `bulk_import.py`: Utilities to convert data directly from the WHG 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.whg.whg+json **NEWSGROUPS:** {'ome.whg': 'Metadata from World Historical Gazetteer (WHG) https://whgazetteer.org'} ```text server/plugins/whg ├── __init__.py ├── bulk_import.py ├── plugin.py ├── README.md ├── whg_article.eml ├── whg_item.json ├── whg_models.py ├── whg_ome_item.json └── whg.json 1 directory, 9 files ```
