The reBiND workflow
System Installation and Administration (Technical information for administrators and IT specialists)
Before you use the reBiND archiving system the data must be transformed into a suitable XML format. We use ABCD format (ABCD_in_reBiND) and to create ABCD XML files we recommend using the Biocase Provider Software (BPS). To install this software please follow the installation instructions in the BPS wiki:
- Installing BioCASe Provider Software
- Installing eXist
- Installing reBiND Framework
- Configuring eXist/reBiND Framework
- Administration
- Management of reBiND data in the eXist database
- Rights management
- Documentation of Correction Modules
- Writing Custom Correction Modules (How to modify the correction configuration file)
- Using a different XML format
- Using a different metadata format (Discussion of different Metadata standards)
- Data Rescue (outdated software and hardware)
This is not a core part of the workflow, however during the project we gained experience with tranforming data stored in old and outdated software and hardware formats.
- Identifying Unknown File Formats
- Conversion for selected file formats
- DataPerfect
- Paradox
- dBase
- Harvard Graphics
- Word 3 for DOS
- Excel to Access database
- Document new data formats for others
- Hardware
- 3.5" Floppies
- 5.25 " Floppies
Data Archiving (Information for content administrators and contributing scientists)
- Workflow
- Data Preparation
- Prepare the content for ABCD mapping: resolve abbreviations, add units, concatenate atomised scientific name, additional information from data documentation, add metadata, denormalise
- ABCD Mapping (see BioCASE documentation) plus additional examples
- Creating a new project and uploading data to the reBiND data portal
- Validation and Corrections
- Reviewing the XML file (Some notes on manual review)
- Entering metadata
- Publishing and searching the data
- Data Preparation
Case Studies
- Case studies with single data sets from different providers ( reBiND stories)
- General observations
