This weekends task has been upgrading Aristotle from a single user repository to a Github organisation. The new Aristotle-MDR organisation holds the main code for the Aristotle Metadata Registry, but alongside that it also has the DDI Utilities codebase and some additional extensions, along with the new “Aristotle Glossary” extension.

This new extension pulls the Glossary code base out of the code code to improve it status as a “pure” ISO/IEC 11179 implementation as stated in the Aristotle-MDR mission statement. It will also provide additional Django post-save hooks to provide easy look-ups from Glossary items, to any item that requires the glossary item in its definition.

If you are curious about the procedure for migrating an existing project from a personal repository to an organisation, I’ve written a step-by-step guide on StackExchange that runs through all of the steps and potential issues.
