- Become familiar with the rules for each collection type you intend to use:
- Can collections of this type contain collections?
- Can collections of this type contain data files?
- What are the required attributes for each collection type?
- What are the required attributes for a data file in a collection of each type?
- What are the acceptable values and default values for each attribute?
Consider gathering this information by creating your initial collections and data files individually, as described in the following pages:
- Download the example metadata file from the following GitHub location:
https://github.com/CBIIT/HPC_DME_APIs/blob/master/doc/training/samples/Example_Metadata.xlsxMultiexcerpt include MultiExcerptName ExitDisclaimer nopanel true PageWithExcerpt wikicontent:Exit Disclaimer to Include - Revise the file to reflect the objects or collections you intend to specify for upload via Globus:
- The first column should reflect the location of each object or collection within your Globus endpoint.
- The second column should reflect the collection type. The default collection type is Folder.
- The remaining columns should reflect the user-defined attributes for each object or collection.
- Each row should reflect one of your objects or collections.
- Each object can be any file type.
- The system requires a row for each object or collection with mandatory metadata.
- If the default values are acceptable for all mandatory metadata of an object or collection, you can omit that row.
- Remove all formatting (such as word wrapping).
For instructions on performing the bulk upload with the resulting XLSX metadata file, refer to Uploading Data in Bulk via the GUI - 20180801.
