Extract the MODS/ALTO metadata of a bunch of METS/ALTO files into pandas DataFrames.
[![Build Status](https://circleci.com/gh/qurator-spk/mods4pandas.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/qurator-spk/mods4pandas)
**mods4pandas** converts the MODS metadata from METS files into a pandas DataFrame.
Column names are derived from the corresponding MODS elements. Some domain
knowledge is used to convert elements to a useful column, e.g. produce sets
instead of ordered lists for topics, etc. Parts of the tool are specific to
our environment/needs at the State Library Berlin and may need to be changed for
your library.
**alto4pandas** converts the metadata from ALTO files into a pandas DataFrame.
Column names are derived from the corresponding ALTO elements. Some columns
contain descriptive statistics (e.g. counts or mean) of the corresponding ALTO
elements or attributes.
## Usage
~~~
mods4pandas /path/to/a/directory/containing/mets_files
~~~
~~~
alto4pandas /path/to/a/directory/full/of/alto_files
~~~
## Example
In this example we convert the MODS metadata contained in the METS files in
`/srv/data/digisam_mets-sample-300` to a pandas DataFrame under
`mods_info_df.pkl`. This file can then be read by your data scientist using
`pd.read_pickle()`.

In the next example we convert the metadata from the ALTO files in the test data
directory:
