Aggie Expert V2 imports user profiles from UCD IAM

[rakunkel-ucd]

AE user profiles are imported from UCD IAM identity management system via the IAM API(s).

The goal of this story is to demonstrate that we are using the FIN, fcrepo repository as the canonical data for AE. This is the initial demonstration of that functionality. User profile information will be imported from IAM, formatted to a filesystem, and then we will use the fin-cli to import that to the Aggie Expert backend.

Previously, IAM information was stored into a local Fuseki database, and then a construction was added to the centralized database. In the new method, (for now) we can save the IAM data as a jsonld file, and then run an arq command to convert that again, to the format that we want to import into AE. So for the import script, the task will be:

• Download IAM subset using the profiles API
• use the jena arq command to convert the data into VIVO format
• save this data into an AE server via the LDP protocol.
• • potentially via the fini-cli import utility.

Outcome

At the conclusion of this task, we will have

• The beginning of a configuration of the ae server
• The ability to view user records in VIVO format, via the fcrepo interface of the AE server
