OM-API-Utilities

A few python utilities for managing list Creation and users in OpenMinds, via its API

All of these Python files work in a very similar fashion:

1. They first establish credentials using the OM API functions.
2. Once the credentials are established, they will attempt some OM task such as List Creation.

This Repo has files that Perform 3 different sets of tasks.

Task 1: Create OM Lists (from csv files or a directory full of csv files) This is most probably what you want to do.

Task 2: Specialized Py routines to create Jeopardy Lists For OM. Those files are contained in JeopardyParser

Task 3: A "fabricator" - which generates word lists straight from the dictionary by looking for words and their meanings.

List Creation

Take a look at these files first:

list_loader.py

(Mostly standard OM code. The list creation and load parts start at around Line 208)

Here's the idea for this works: It reads a CSV file which has all the data pertaining to the OM_LIst being created. Header, the type of list and the word/meaning etc. (One per line)

First, get this work.

In the interest of scaling up the List Creation, I would create a whole bunch of OM list information as CSV's, store in the director ListsToBeCreated and then I would create them en masse.

For this, I used the files below.

• om_create_lists_from_directory.py
• om_create_lists_from_textfile.py
