ETDs

Workflow for UAlbany ETDs

pip install -r requirements.txt

1. Compare ETD XML from ProQuest with catalog export

2. Examine embargos in ETD CML

3. Pull list of email contacts

4. Compare Proquest ETDs with Grad School and Catalog embargo records

5. Build Spreadsheet for ingest from Catalog data and ETD XML

ETD Packages

from packages import ETD

etd = ETD()
etd.load(path/to/dir)

ETD objects have useful data attributes

print (etd.etd_id)
> lastname-ZbNhwXqECGjEEKgUaxAjWL
print (etd.year)
> 2014
print (etd.supplemental)
> True
if etd.supplemental:
	print (self.supplemental_files)
> /full/path/to/lastname-ZbNhwXqECGjEEKgUaxAjWL/data/lastname_185

ETD objects also contain useful paths

print (etd.year_dir)
> /full/path/to/ETDs/2014
print (etd.bagDir)
> /full/path/to/ETDs/2014/lastname-ZbNhwXqECGjEEKgUaxAjWL
print (etd.data)
> /full/path/to/ETDs/2014/lastname-ZbNhwXqECGjEEKgUaxAjWL/data
print (etd.xml_file)
> /full/path/to/ETDs/2014/lastname-ZbNhwXqECGjEEKgUaxAjWL/data/lastname_sunyalb_0668A_10534_DATA.xml
print (etd.pdf_file)
> /full/path/to/ETDs/2014/lastname-ZbNhwXqECGjEEKgUaxAjWL/data/lastname_sunyalb_0668A_10534.pdf

etd.bag is a bagit object

bag.info is a dict of bag-info.txt metadata

print (etd.bag.info["Author"])
> Fullname O. Author
print (etd.bag.info["Submitted-Title"])
> My very Longwinded Dissertation
print (etd.bag.info["Bagging-Date"])
> 2023-06-01T14:53:29.785908
print (etd.bag.info["Completion-Date"])
> 2014
if etd.bag.info["Embargo"] == "True":
	print (etd.bag.info["Embargo-Date"])
> 2025-05-09
print (etd.bag.info["ProQuest-Email"])
> my_old_email@albany.edu
print (etd.bag.info["XML-ID"])
> lastname_sunyalb_0668A_10534
print (etd.bag.info["Zip-ID"])
> etdadmin_upload_145229

The ETD bag-info.txt metadata should validate via Bagit-Profiles against https://archives.albany.edu/static/bagitprofiles/etd-profile-v0.1.json.

Validate it just like bagit python

if etd.bag.is_valid():
    print("yay :)")
else:
    print("boo :(")
> yay :)
