View source for Hacking Pre-Ingest Assessment Tools (Solr/Ruby/Python)

'''Django/Solr Metadata Archive Tool'''

As part of my [http://code4lib.org/conference/2011/Matienzo code4lib presentation] I (Matienzo) may demo some code that works with Digital Forensics XML and gets it into a Solr index. I've successfully thrown Blacklight on top of it, but want to extend it further, especially in terms of figuring what I can do with it and creating a straightforward UI that will represent directory hierarchies.

* Solr index w/ sample data: http://solr.onebigarchives.net:8983/solr/admin/
* Sample query: http://solr.onebigarchives.net:8983/solr/select?indent=on&version=2.2&q=*:*&fq=&start=0&rows=10&fl=*,score&qt=standard&wt=standard&explainOther=&hl.fl=

This would maybe be happy with an Event microservice.  Mark Phillips hopes to release a Django app to this effect in April 2011.

==Fears==
* Identifiers are precious
* Ingest is forever
* Where does rights management come in
* Hard drives full of junk and an uncorrelated spreadsheet.
* Resolving logical conflicts in human-edited spreadsheets--often difficult to notice problems in advance

==Desires==
* Command-line statistical analysis (histogram, number of distinct values, etc.) of spreadsheets.
* Organizable digital limbo
* Pie charts and other visualizations.  (How much of this stuff is ingestable? and other questions)

==Tools==
* Event microservice
* GUI XSLT editors exist for MARC... how about for spreadsheets?
