The EHRI Metadata Publishing Tool (MPT) facilitates publishing archival resources and sitemaps to conform with the ResourceSync framework. The MPT is a desktop application with tabs to configure settings, import archival finding aids, select resources for synchronization, execute the synchronization, export resources and sitemaps to a web server, and audit the published resources. It assists in managing the internal logistics of preparing and transporting archival descriptions to be harvested by the EHRI portal and kept in synchronization according to the ResourceSync specification.

- 1. EHRI Metadata Publishing Tool (MPT) Developed for EHRI WP 10 by DANS- KNAW CONNECTING COLLECTIONS 12/11/2017 This work is licensed under the Creative Commons CC-BY 4.0 licence
- 2. 14 Overview The MPT is a desktop application that facilitates the publishing of resources and sitemaps in conformance with the ResourceSync Framework Specification. This introduction slideset contains: ResourceSync, EHRI and the MPT How to download and install the MPT How to use the MPT Usefull links
- 3. ResourceSync Synchronizing resources over the web with the aid of published xml-documents (sitemaps) that describe the resources and their changes over time
- 4. ResourceSync utilized by EHRI External logistics. The ResourceSync Framework Specification at work. Collection Holding Institutions (CHI) expose content and ResourceSync metadata on their web servers. The central hub (in this case the EHRI Portal) is actively collecting resources and keeping them in sync with the aid of published sitemaps. The content exposed by the various CHI’s are ead-files, Encoded Archival Descriptions.
- 5. The purpose of MPT Internal logistics. MPT assisting in transport and selection of resources, creating sitemap documents and exposing them on the web server of the CHI.
- 6. Download and install MPT https://github.com/EHRI/rspub-gui/releases Installation wizards for Windows and MacOs Download from the releases page of the GitHub project: Follow the instructions of the wizard
- 7. The MPT wizard screens MPT consists of several tabs or wizard screens that will help you through the process of publishing your ead-files and sitemap documents The steps you have to take are: •Configure •Import •Select •Execute •Export •Audit Not all steps have to be taken by everyone and not all steps have to be taken each time you synchronize your resources
- 8. Configure MPT Configuration •Needs to be done once •Is best done by a technician Different configurations can be saved and loaded

Import resources Import ead-files from the archival system Skip this step if your ead-files are already on the local or networked drive where MPT can see them and work with them Configuration of the Import wizard •Needs to be done once •Is best done by a technician Once configuration is done, all you need to do is press the start button
- 11. Select resources Select ead-files that are fit for synchronization Use a simple or advanced selection Advanced selection gives more control on files and folders that need to be included in - or excluded from the synchronization
- 12. Execute a synchronization Gives an overview of the current configuration details
- 13. Execute a synchronization Gives an overview of the current configuration details If everything is fine, press the run button to start a synchronization
- 14. Export resources and sitemaps Enables the export of newly synchronized files to the web server of the CHI Configuration •Needs to be done once •Is best done by a technician
- 15. Export resources and sitemaps Enables the export of newly synchronized files to the web server of the CHI Configuration •Needs to be done once •Is best done by a technician Once configuration is done, all you need to do is press the start button
- 16. Audit Verify that the exposed URL’s on your web server are correct and your ResourceSync site ready to be harvested by the EHRI-portal Press the start button to start the audit process
- 17. Audit Verify that the exposed URL’s on your web server are correct and your ResourceSync site ready to be harvested by the EHRI-portal Press the start button to start the audit process After audit has run, a detailed report on the correctness of your ResourceSync site is exposed

- The ResourceSync Framework Specification is a web-based synchronization framework developed and promoted by the Open Archives Initiative. This ResourceSync specification describes a synchronization framework for the web consisting of various capabilities that allow third-party systems to remain synchronized with a server's evolving resources. The capabilities may be combined in a modular manner to meet local or community requirements. This specification also describes how a server should advertise the synchronization capabilities it supports and how third-party systems may discover this information. The specification repurposes the document formats defined by the Sitemap protocol and introduces extensions for them. From the various document formats described by the Framework, the EHRI ResourceSync adaptation utilizes a Source Description document (to introduce the site), Capability Lists (as a means to distinguish between sets of resources) and Resource Lists and Change Lists (for describing resources and their changes over time).
- In order to collect information on dispersed archives across Europe -and the rest of the world- that hold Holocaust-related collections, the Encoded Archival Description (EAD) is used as the format for information dissemination; the ResourceSync Framework may be used as the transportation and synchronization mechanism between various CHI’s (the Sources) and the EHRI-portal (the Destination).
- MPT is a desktop application and is used by content-savvy personnel of a CHI. MPT can: collect and import resources from various places within the organization; select relevant resources (ead-files); create ResourceSync sitemap metadata on relevant resources; export resources and sitemaps to the web server; verify that the exposed URL’s are correct and the ResourceSync site ready to be harvested by a Destination.
- Wizards for installing MPT can be downloaded from https://github.com/EHRI/rspub-gui/releases See detailed instructions for the various operating systems: http://rspub-gui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rst/rsgui.install.html
- Configuration of Metadata Publishing Tool may need the hand and insight of a technically skilled person. Once configured it can be managed by archivists and other content-savvy users that do not necessarily have technical skills.
- The parameters on the configuration page constitute all variables needed to synchronize a set of resources. Variables are validated and, if valid, saved automatically. Multiple sets of parameters can be saved as named configurations. See The File menu on how to save, load and delete configurations. Variables on the configuration page are best set with the help of a technically skilled person. Once variables are set and tested to be correct, they can be reused over future synchronization runs.
- The import functionality is only necessary if your files (EAD files in the case of EHRI) are on a server. If your files are on a local or networked drive you may skip this page of the wizard. With the import page you can copy files from the remote server to a local or networked drive with the aid of the Secure Copy Protocol (scp). Parameters on the import page are best set with the help of a technically skilled person. The variables on this page are part of the same named configuration as the one from the Configuration page and are saved automatically. Once parameters on this page are set, all you have to do each time you want to import your remote files to your local environment is press the Start button (and remember your password).

- On the select page you decide which files will be synchronized. The page offers a choice on how to select: Simple select - All files in one directory will be synchronized. Advanced select - Multiple files and folders can be included and multiple files and folders can be excluded. This gives the opportunity to precisely select the resources that will be synchronized. The variables on this page are part of the same named configuration as the one from the Configuration page and are saved automatically. Different selections can be set and saved for each configuration.
- On the execute page you can inspect the parameters of the current configuration and start a synchronization.

- The local synchronization will not publish your resources and sitemaps. For that, resources and sitemaps must be made available on a web server. The export page offers two methods to export resources and sitemaps from your local or networked drive to your web server: Transfer files with SCP - Uses the Secure Copy Protocol (scp) to transfer files directly to your web server. Create a zip file - This method creates a zip file of your resources and sitemaps. You can hand over this zip file to your system administrator who should take care of publishing the contents on the web server.

- The audit page enables verification of the sitemap and resource URL’s on your web server. After a successful audit, you can rest assure that your ResourceSync site is healthy. Once you have successfully accomplished this step for a first time, you need to hand over the URL’s of your Capability Lists to the responsible person of the EHRI-portal. After this your ResourceSync site with your ead-files will be synchronized automatically.
