rdmo-plugins-dfg

This plugin provides RDMO option set providers for the DFG Classification of Scientific Disciplines (DFG Fachsystematik).

The providers use packaged CSV data and do not query an external API at request time. The DFG discipline rows are loaded lazily once per Python process and are then reused for later option requests.

Setup

Install the plugin in your RDMO virtual environment using pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/rdmorganiser/rdmo-plugins-dfg

Add the rdmo_dfg app to INSTALLED_APPS and the provider to OPTIONSET_PROVIDERS in config/settings/local.py:

INSTALLED_APPS += ['rdmo_dfg']

OPTIONSET_PROVIDERS += [
    ('dfg_disciplines', _('DFG Disciplines'), 'rdmo_dfg.providers.DFGProvider')
]

The default DFGProvider currently uses the 2024-2028 DFG Fachsystematik. Version-specific providers are also available:

OPTIONSET_PROVIDERS += [
    (
        'dfg_disciplines_2020_2024',
        _('DFG Disciplines 2020-2024'),
        'rdmo_dfg.providers.DFGDisciplines2020To2024Provider'
    ),
    (
        'dfg_disciplines_2024_2028',
        _('DFG Disciplines 2024-2028'),
        'rdmo_dfg.providers.DFGDisciplines2024To2028Provider'
    )
]

The option id stores the dotted DFG notation, e.g. 1.11-01 or 4.51-06. The packaged CSV files use compact notations such as 111-01; the provider derives the dotted notation at runtime.

For a minimal example catalog covering the default and version-specific providers, see xml/questions-dfg.xml.
