CSV Metadata Workflow¶
It is possible to create Kolibri channels by:
- Organizing content items (documents, videos, mp3 files) into a folder hierarchy on the local file system
- Specifying metadata in the form of CSV files
The CSV-based workflow is a good fit for non-technical users since it doesn’t require writing any code, but instead can use the Excel to provide all the metadata.
- CSV-based workflow README
- Example content folder
- Example Channel.csv metadata file
- Example Content.csv metadata file
Organizing the content into folders and creating the CSV metadata files is most
of the work, and can be done by non-programmers.
The generic sushi chef script (LineCook
) is then used to upload the channel.
