A Dockerfile is included in this distribution to allow the bibframe2marc utility to be built into a Docker image and run as a container for easier portability.
From the root of the distribution, build the image with docker build -t bibframe2marc ..
You can run the container, piping RDF input to STDIN and attaching to the containers STDOUT and STDERR like this:
docker run -i --rm bibframe2marc < test.rdf.xml
The bibframe2marc utility can use a configuration file in JSON format to configure dereferencing the URIs of RDF subjects and objects, adding additional triples to the model, and using that data in BIBFRAME to MARC conversion. You can mount a configuration file on the container and instruct bibframe2marc to use it with the --config option:
docker run -i --rm -v "$(pwd)"/config.json:/tmp/config.json bibframe2marc --config /tmp/config.json < test.rdf.xml
You can also use this strategy to mount a local directory for reading and writing input and output files using the --input and --output options. See the Docker documentation on bind mounts for more details.
If you've built the Docker image, the easiest way to see the command line documentation is to run bibframe2marc with the --help command line switch:
docker run --rm bibframe2marc --help
A Vagrantfile is included as well, for use as a development tool in non-POSIX environments. If you have Vagrant installed, just type vagrant up in the root of the repository to get a working Ubuntu 18.04 environment. The repository root will be mounted on the Vagrant VM at /vagrant.
