RDMO Catalog

This repository contains all content objects (catalogs, attributes, options, conditions, views, tasks) to be used with the DMP software RDMO.

The main branch contains material structured according to the recommended data model 2.0.0+. It is at the latest state and will be updated over time.

Material structured according to the previous data model 1.6.0+ has been frozen at the state of April 2024 and will be not updated any more.

The content officially curated by the RDMO Consortium is in the rdmorganiser folder. We recommend to import these files to be able to make use of the official domain model, options, tasks and conditions. Note that parts of these data are required also to import user-generated content, because RDMO user-generated question catalogs may refer to parts of the official data.

Content shared by RDMO users can be found under shared. It can be organised as a single file ("full XML export") or as a collection of multiple files containing additional conditions, options and questions. Files in the same folder belong together: all of them should be imported.

Please pay attention to the order in which you import files. Question catalogs referring to other content should be imported at last. See the following section for details.

Different scripts are located in tools. These are interesting for people maintaining this repo.

How to install content

The RDMO content objects (catalogs, attributes, options, conditions, views, tasks) depend on each other, as shown in the documentation.

In particular, the installation of question catalogues requires the newest version of attributes, optionsets and conditions.

Therefore we suggest this sequence to install content in a RDMO instance:

Via the RDMO web interface

Management --> Attributes --> Import <chosen_domain_file>.xml
Management --> Conditions --> Import <chosen_conditions_file>.xml
Management --> Option sets --> Import <chosen_options_file>.xml
Management --> Conditions --> Import <chosen_conditions_file>.xml # yes, again
Management --> Questions --> Import <chosen_catalog_file>.xml
Management --> Tasks --> Import <chosen_task_file>.xml
Management --> Views --> Import <chosen_view_file>.xml

REMARK: If the chosen catalog is available as a full XML, it already includes the necessary attributes, conditions and options.

Via a Python script

python ./manage.py import /path/to/domain/<chosen_domain_file>.xml ./manage.py import /path/to/conditions/<chosen_conditions_file>.xml ./manage.py import /path/to/options/<chosen_options_file>.xml ./manage.py import /path/to/conditions/<chosen_conditions_file>.xml # yes, again ./manage.py import /path/to/questions/<chosen_catalog_file>.xml ./manage.py import /path/to/tasks/<chosen_task_file>.xml ./manage.py import /path/to/views/<chosen_view_file>.xml

Use the same order when importing over the RDMO web interface.

Please note that the main branch will only work with the latest version of RDMO. If you need the xml files for an older version, please browse the releases or contact us.

To indent the XML files use:

bash for f in *.xml; do xmllint --format $f > /tmp/$f; mv /tmp/$f $f; done
