Crosswalking: Avalon to PDF¶

When making pdfs of transcripts of Avalon media, use this to create the metadata that goes in the header of the pdf.

Use the script mark_get_avalon_files.py to bring down metadata on Avalon. You may need to change some lines of def write_csv depending on the structure of that collection’s metadata on Avalon. For example, if multiple audio/video files are under the same digital object in Avalon, you will use “label” instead of “title”.
For each media object you will need the following metadata fields. Those fields will be added to the pdf using a csv file.

JSON field	Corresponding Column in csv file
title	Title
label	Title
main_contributors	Main Contributors
contributor	Contributors
date_issued	Date of Creation
	Link to resource
publisher	Publisher
genre	Subjects
subject	Subjects
temporal_subject	Subjects
geographic_subject	Subjects
topical_subject	Subjects
terms_of_use	Rights information

Note that the Subjects column will merge five different fields in the json.
“Main contributors” is occasionally called “creators” in Avalon documentation/formating.
Link to resource is the ARK, which cannot be acquired from this process.
