Steps to EOL integration
From mx Help Wiki
Overview
Based on conversation with C. Parr Mar. 3/10
EOL transfer documentation is here: [[1]], with a glossary here: http://eol.org/files/pdfs/docs/EOL_Transfer_Schema_Glossary.pdf
Mx content types should map to the Species Profile Model [[2]]
- no specimens
- images are linked to taxa, captions should clearly denote
- image and object metadata take care of the attribution and licensing of the objects
To do (mx)
- settle on routing for services API /api/eol?
- write Template#eol returning an XML object as per the "mushroom" example
- have EOL hit /eol, get a list of available pages, then crawl the other URIs
- consider formalizing or providing the SPM "content_types" as defaults
