django-dublincore 0.1

A simple Django app to attach Dublin Core metadata to arbitrary Django objects

A Django plugin app for applying Dublin Core Metadata to any Django model.

This uses the Django contenttype framework and generic relations to apply a varying number of metadata terms to any Django model.

[Dublin Core Metadata Terms]

Quick start

1. git clone https://github.com/mredar/django-dublincore.git

2. cd django-dublincore

3. python setup.py install

4. Add “dublincore” to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
           ...
          'dublincore',
   )

5. Run python manage.py syncdb to create the dublincore db tables.

6. Start the development server and visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ to attach some Dublin Core metadata to your objects. (admin app must be installed)

7. Add this to models you wish to add dublincore attributes to:

   from django.contrib.contenttypes import generic
   from dublincore.models import QualifiedDublinCoreElement
   ...
   
   class Thing(models.Model):
       '''Some Thing
       with dublincore metadata attached
       '''
       QDCElements = generic.GenericRelation(QualifiedDublinCoreElement)

TODO:

0. Make tests work from clean install

1. improve install process (one cmd)

2. performance analysis - i’ve read that abstract classes containing datbase fields have a bad performance hit.

3. sample views and usage

4. Better Documentation

5. support dublin core terms (currently just element with “qualifier”)
