Another digital / Object repository
And/Or is a proof of concept for a simple object repository library based on Caltech Library’s dataset tool. It implements an asynchronous service for building multi-user repository using Python. And/Or library takes care of creating a efficient interactive storage model for your Python based web service.
And/Or is an asynchrous shared library based
dataset providing
an asynchronous interface for working with dataset collections.
dataset has proven to be a useful tool for managing library
metadata using a data science approach. It is built for continious
migration dataflows. It lacks multi-user curation support or the
convienence of having web browser based edit forms. And/Or is a
prototype library for extending libdataset.go with a Python managed
service that can then be used to create extremely light weight repository
systems using Python.
See INSTALL.md. This software is experimental and pre-compiled binaries are NOT provided. This software is written in Go programming language and needs a Go compiler to be compiled. It is intended to be used from Python 3.7 or better so that needs to be available too.
A “Makefile” has been provided for your convience to compile the And/Or shared library.
git clone https://github.com/caltechlibrary/andor
cd andor
make
This is a proof-of-concept project. It SHOULD NOT be used in any production setting. It is ONLY suitable for demonstrating an approach to building light weight object repositories.
