If you don't have Pip, get Pip!

Either clone the repo or [download as a zip](https://github.com/CIC-Geospatial-Data-Discovery-Project/csw-update/archive/master.zip. Once cloned/downloaded and extracted, execute this command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

1. Make a copy of config.py.sample
2. Name it config.py
3. Fill in CSW_URL, USER, and PASSWORD
4. (Optional) Set DEBUG to True for more detailed execution information.

Export a CSV for the records you want to edit via spreadsheet. We use a custom CSV export for the CIC: GDDP (mainly for link handling), but as long as you have the uuid field, the tool should work with the out of the box CSV export.

• The input file format must be csv. Excel formats (xls or xlsx) are not supported.
• There must be a column called uuid. The values in it should correspond to the fileIdentifier for the records being updated. For example: bdfc5cd2-732d-4559-a9c7-df38dd683aec.

When working with a CSV exported from GeoNetwork, you'll need to either:

1. PREFERRED Insert a new column, name it according to the table below and add your new values into it. (empty cells will be ignored, so if you want to null out a value, too bad I suppose. Let me know if you really need to do this and I can work in that functionality).
2. Change column names to the appropriate Column Header listed below (this is not really well tested, but ought to work, I guess)
