SPASE Toolkit
The SPASE (Space Physics Archive Search and Extract) Toolkit contains a set of
command-line applications which can be used to generate, validate, referentially check,
use and organize resource descriptions written in SPASE XML.
The SPASE toolkit is written entirely in Java and should run on any system with a
Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Any required extensions are included in the SPASE toolkit installation package.
Tools:
| collator | Write individual resource descriptions into a separate file stored in a folder tree according to the Resource ID. |
| downloader | Obtains a list of URLs associated with a resource by quering a registry server, then downloads and packages all the source files. |
| profiler | Create resource profiles for SPASE resource descriptions. |
| validator | Checks a resource description for compliance to a specified version of the SPASE data model. |
| refcheck | Can check both resource identifiers and URLs for referenential integrity. |
| xmlgrep | Extract values from an XML file using an XPath pattern. |
