mdCodes

mdCodes provides code lists in hash or JSON formats for loading of mdEditor and other metadata tools that use the ADIwg mdJson-schemas. The code lists include all ISO 19115-2 and ISO 19115-1 codes plus supplemental codes added by NGDC and ADIwg. The code lists may be accessed in Ruby using the gem. Alternatively, JSON may be generated from the YAML using Grunt. NPM package is available as well. See the following for instructions.

npm

npm install mdcodes

Note: The npm install will also create JavaScript modules for the codelists.

Ruby

The adiwg-mdcodes gem provides code lists in Ruby hash or JSON formats.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

$ bundle

##Grunt

Generate JSON verions of the code lists using Grunt.

Note: These instructions assume that npm and Grunt are already installed. The generated files are not tracked by git.

  1. Change to the project's root directory.
  2. Install project dependencies with npm install.
  3. Generate the JSON code lists with grunt.
  4. The JSON is written to the resources/json directory.
