Introduction

dtool is a command line tool for packaging data and metadata into a dataset. A dtool dataset manages data and metadata without the need for a central database.

However, if one has to manage more than a hundred datasets it can be helpful to have the datasets' metadata stored in a central server to enable one to quickly find datasets of interest.

The dtool-lookup-server provides a web API for registering datasets' metadata and provides functionality to lookup, list and search for datasets.

This scaffolding serves as a template for dtool-lookup-server plugin developments.

Installation

Install the dtool lookup server dependency graph plugin:

$ pip install dtool-lookup-server-plugin-scaffolding
