This plugin implements dynamic option set, that queries the API for the Gemeinsame Normdatei at https://lobid.org/gnd.

If you intend to use the API, please follow it's usage policy.

Install the plugin in your RDMO virtual environment using pip (directly from GitHub):

pip install git+https://github.com/rdmorganiser/rdmo-plugins-gnd

Add the rdmo_gnd app to INSTALLED_APPS and the plugin to OPTIONSET_PROVIDERS in config/settings/local.py:

INSTALLED_APPS += ['rdmo_gnd']

...

OPTIONSET_PROVIDERS += [
    ('gnd', _('GND Provider'), 'rdmo_gnd.providers.GNDProvider')
]

The option set provider should now be selectable for option sets in your RDMO installation. For a minimal example catalog, see the files in xml.

If a selection of a GND identifier should update other fields, you can add a GND_PROVIDER_MAP in your settings, e.g.:

GND_PROVIDER_MAP = [
    {
        'gndIdentifier': 'https://rdmorganiser.github.io/terms/domain/project/coordination/gnd',
        'preferredName': 'https://rdmorganiser.github.io/terms/domain/project/coordination/name'
    }
]

In this case, a change to the identifier of a coordinator (https://rdmorganiser.github.io/terms/domain/project/coordination/gnd) will update their name (https://rdmorganiser.github.io/terms/domain/project/coordination/name) automatically. The value will be taken from the preferredName field of the response from the API for the selected gndIdentifier. GND_PROVIDER_MAP is a list of mappings, since multiple GND identifiers could be used and should update different other values.

lobid's policy asks to add a custom User-Agent to your requests so that they can perform statistical analyses and, if you add an email address, might contact you. This can be done by adding the following to your settings.

GND_PROVIDER_HEADERS = {
    'User-Agent': 'Mein Projekt; mailto:[email protected]'
}
