<p>Welcome to Metafacture.org!</p>
<p>Metafacture is a toolkit for processing semi-structured data with a focus on library metadata. It provides a versatile set of tools for reading, writing and transforming data. Metafacture can be used as a stand-alone application or as a Java library in other applications. The name Metafacture is a portmanteau of the words <em>meta</em>data and manu<em>facture</em>.</p>
<p>Metafacture includes a <a href="https://github.com/metafacture/metafacture-documentation/blob/master/flux-commands.md">large number of modules</a> for operating on semi-structured data. These modules can be combined to build pipelines to perform complex metadata processing tasks. The pipelines can be constructed either in Java code or with the domain-specific language <strong>Flux</strong>. One of the core features of Metafacture is the <strong>Metamorph</strong> module. Metamorph is an xml-based language for specifying transformations of semi-structured data. It can be seamlessly integrated into Java code.</p>
<p>At its heart Metafacture is a framework for implementing modules for metadata processing. This makes Metafacture easily extendable with additional modules. The <a href="https://github.com/metafacture/metafacture-core/wiki/Plugins-and-Tools">plugins and tools page</a> on the wiki shows supplementary packages and projects which extend Metafacture.</p>
<p>Originally, Metafacture was developed as part of the Culturegraph platform but it is developed independently now and used by others, too: <a href="https://github.com/metafacture/metafacture-core/wiki/Who-uses-Metafacture">see who uses Metafacture</a>.</p>
<p>Also <a href="https://github.com/metafacture/metafacture-fix">Metafacture Fix</a>, a non-xml Catmandu inspired language for specifying transformations, is being developed that is not stream-based but operates at record level.</p>
<p>Metafacture is maintained by the Team <a href="https://www.hbz-nrw.de/produkte/linked-open-data">Offene Infrastruktur by hbz</a>.</p>
