mdtranslator was written by the Alaska Data Integration Working Group (ADIwg) to assist researchers with authoring both spatial and non-spatial metadata for projects and datasets. Input to the mdtranslator is a JSON record conforming to the mdJson-schemas. The user can request the mdTranslator to translate the mdJson input into one or more established metadata standards. The mdTranslator currently supports translation to ISO 19115-2, ISO 19110, HTML, and mdJson 2x. The mdTranslator part of an open source architecture toolkit that allows developers to write additional readers and/or writers as may be required.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'adiwg-mdtranslator'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install adiwg-mdtranslator
$ mdtranslator help translate
Note about version number
The version should be updated in 2 locations:
version.json & lib/adiwg/mdtranslator/version.rb
The former is used during the tag/release action and the latter is used by the application itself. Ideally, there should be a test to confirm these are the same.
Requires
