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.
