egaia tag

Tag new filenames with uuid identifiers and create metadata documents where they do not exist.

Usage

egaia tag --help
egaia tag [ --untag ]

Options

--help

--untag

Remove the UUIDs from all the files in the current collection. You probably do not want to do this except in emergencies, since egaia does not yet provide a tool for re- associating untagged derivatives and finding aids with their parent originals.

Behaviour

Each original file in the current collection will be tagged with the format <filename>.<UUID>.<suffix>, and accompanied by a metadata template document with the filename <filename>.metadata-<language>.<UUID>.docx.

Thus for example the file MyDocument.jpeg might be renamed to MyDocument.d5da6556-640b-4916-a584-fe67f873ff57.jpeg and accompanied by the file MyDocument.metadata-en.d5da6556-640b-4916-a584-fe67f873ff57.docx, which should then be used for metadata input.
