This library contains a service and associated case classes for interacting with MDF's Connect service. This service is used to submit datasets for ingesting into the facility.

In order to use this library you will require a client id and secret. This can be obtained from Globus. You will then need to contact the MDF team to grant your account permission to publish via the API.

We currently only support confidential client authentication. This is appropriate for a back-end service, however future versions of this library should support the same OAuth flows exposed by the Python SDK.

This library uses the Scala Play WS module to perform all of the REST calls.

The MDFConnectPublishService offers two methods:

• authenitcate - Passes your client ID and secret to globus auth to receive an access token.
• submitConvertRequest - Given an access token and a populated ConvertRequest this method will submit it to the service and return a simple result string.

This library contains case classes to represent the JSON objects used by Globus auth and the MDF Connect service.

This class encapsulates some of the basic data that can be represented by the MDF Connect dc schema. The underlying schema can represent a rich network of collaborators and their affiliations. For now, this case class only represents the most basic cases and should eventually be extended to handle more.

This class contains all of the information required to submit a dataset to MDF Connect for ingestion. In addition to a populated DataCite record, this records the URL from which MDFConnect can download the zipped dataset, and a boolean value which indicates if this is a test submission.
