Collectionspace::Mapper

Role in CollectionSpace ecosystem

The full ecosystem of the CollectionSpace "batch data stack" is described here.

collectionspace-mapper takes a JSON RecordMapper for a CollectionSpace record type and a record data hash (which is usually derived from a row of CSV data) and creates a CollectionSpace XML record.

collectionspace-mapper also validates the given data, ensuring any required field is present before mapping. The response returned by collectionspace-mapper also includes data quality warnings that a user may want to fix before adding the record to CollectionSpace.

collectionspace-mapper is used by:

• collectionspace-csv-importer

• collectionspace_migration_tools
