Getting started
A web-based solution which hooks into the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) (https://bit.ly/3pPEdv0) metadata API to harvest records. The tool includes a scheduler for regular metadata harvesting and a database to store the metadata. As a post-processing step to the harvesting the tool converts the items into differen target format utilizing XSLT transformations. By now the tool support the the format oai-pmh and pnasimple. Finally the service provides access to the collected and transformed resources via an OAI-PMH comliant API for oai-pmh harhvester clients to consume the records
User Guide
Users who want to consume the data can query the OAI-PHM compliant API which can be found here https://ena2pansimple.gfbio.org/oai/?verb=Identify some simple examples on how to query the entpoint are listed here https://ena2pansimple.gfbio.org/about/ more general information on how to use the endpoint you can find in the documentation of OAI-PMH itself http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/openarchivesprotocol.html
Developer Guide
The tool is developed in a dockerized django setup. The repository itself contains detailed information on how to get running locally which you can use to try it out yourself and for further development.
