Introduction

ArchMetadataExtractor is a simple Python tool I created to help with generating metadata for archaeological projects. It's designed to follow the Archaeology Data Service (ADS) Good Practice guidelines, making it easier to document archaeological data. This tool isn't fancy, but it gets the job done, especially if you're not too keen on dealing with the intricacies of metadata creation.

Features

Here's what ArchMetadataExtractor can do:

• Compliance with ADS Guidelines: Helps align your metadata with ADS standards.
• User-Friendly: Basic interface - nothing too complicated.
• Metadata Templates: Provides the overview of the essential metadata elements, some of these may need to be updated and other information added later.
• Customization: You can tweak the metadata a bit to fit your project's needs.
• Export Options: Allows you to export your metadata as an XML file.

Quick Start

To get this tool up and running, just follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ArchMetadataExtractor.git
   

2. Install Dependencies: In the cloned directory and install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Start the script, and it'll guide you through creating your metadata:

   python ArchMetadataExtractor.py
   

That's pretty much it. Nothing too fancy, but it should help with the metadata part of your archaeological project.
