Installing metadata schemas

For a fully functional research module, a metadata schema is required. All schemas can be found in the Yoda-ruleset in schemas/. Below is a description of the needed files per schema (using the default schema as an example):

metadata.json A JSON file describing the metadata form.

uischema.json A JSON file describing how a given data type should be rendered as a form input component. It provides information on how the form should be rendered.

In the default situation, the default schema is installed in /${RODSZONE}/yoda/schemas/default.

Example to install (or update) schema ‘default-2’ as default for all categories:

If you install the files in a directory with the same name as the name of a category it will become the schema for that category and that category alone, when the category is created afterwards. Existing categories without a specific schema will still use the default schema.

Example to install (or update) schema ‘core-1’ for category ‘experimental’:

The above is legal bash if you define RODSZONE environment variable, for example:

Mistakes are easily made as the commands are so similar but different. So please take care.
