Instance administrators

TODO -- Maintainers

When a new list of DDC term comes out, this package should be updated. Here we show how.

0- Make sure you have cloned this package. Then install it locally with:

make install

1- Update:

make update

This will

1- Download the new list 2- Convert terms to InvenioRDM subjects format 3- Write those to invenio_subjects_gnd/vocabularies/subjects_gnd.yaml file

3- Run the tests just to make sure everything is still good:

make test

4- When you are happy with the list, bump the version in invenio_subjects_ddc/version.py and release it.

Future Ideas

• InvenioRDM doesn't have a way to update pre-existing subjects yet. Once there is one, this package should provide the functionality to update DDC terms.

Changes

Version 2022.01.12 (unreleased)

• Initial release.
