Where e.g. an entry type may be identified at museum-digital only by its ID, it is not realistic to expect providers of import data (which is to say: museums) to enter the entry type ID from museum-digital's relevant list. Hence, the lists contained in this subdirectory provide human-readable names for the IDs accepted by museum-digital as found in previous imports, so that they can be automatically translated to the IDs and names as used within the context of museum-digital. -The lists are grouped as class constants of their relevant entry type. All class names may be prefixed with _MDConc_. +The lists are grouped as (private) class constants of their relevant entry type. + +- All class names may be prefixed with _MDConc_. +- All concordance list classes implement the MDImporterConcordanceListInterface interface. + - They can thus all be used using a static function `getConcordanceTarget(string $input)`.

Its full functionality is thus only available with the inclusion of some other subrepositories provided in the context of the importer (e.g. MDAllowedValueSets). + +Editing can be done by simply adding to the lists however. It is hoped, that the publication of this subrepository as a standalone repository makes this process easier. Just clone this repository and enter the missing values in the relevant classes in the `[/src](./src)` directory. + +## Testing + +Tests exist to ensure that all concordance lists implement the MDImporterConcordanceListInterface interface and throw an MDImporterMissingConcordance exception, if a new, yet unknown value is encountered. If this repository is set up as part of an installation of the MDImporter, they can be run using: + +``` +phpunit tests +```
