Instance administrators

For instance administrators, after you have installed the extension as per the steps above, you are done. It should just work.

TODO -- Maintainers

When a new list of LCSH 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 (TODO - For now download it manually and place it in invenio_subjects_lcsh/download/data/) 2- Convert terms to InvenioRDM subjects format 3- Write those to invenio_subjects_lcsh/vocabularies/subjects_lcsh.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_lcsh/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 LCSH terms.
