Tools

A number of tools are provided that can be incorporated into your projects that want to use the metadata transfer reconciliation format (martiLQ document).

The Python or PowerShell (Windows or Linux) scripts can be inserted into your processing pipeline either to pack or unpack a single file or a set of files. Combining this with the compress and encrypt facility will be a solution design with load assurance with security.

If your data is for public or third party consumption the scripts can produce an immutable package that assures your consumers of its authenticity and provenance.

You can combine these in different ways such as:

• Use Python extract program to generate the martiLQ document
• Use a Java program to reconcile the received data document with the martiLQ file
