imhicihu/bibliographical-database-migration

Steps to done to migrate an older MicroIsis database (circa 1994) to later WinIsis format.

Rationale

• This file describes the workflow of migration between some various exogenous databases that belongs to IMHICIHU.
• There are some work-around, collateral facts: some software are deprecated, so, there is no help or support to them

What is this repository for?

• Quick summary
  • Migration between various databases and the fixes applied to minimize incompatibilities between parties

How do I get set up?

• Summary of set up
  • Microsoft Windows XP (operating system)
  • WinIsis (bibliographic database cataloger)
  • VirtualBox (software to virtualize one operating system inside another operating systems)
  • Beautiful Soap: unencoding of unicode text to UTF-8 format specification. A kind of swiss-army knife of encoding-unencoding text files.
  • Text Compare! (online diff tool that allows you to easily make a text comparison and find the differences between two texts)
  • Docker: deploy apps inside virtual environments. A time-saver in the process of cut and paste in-from a myriad of applications between different operating systems.
• Dependencies
  • In terms of workflow, there is a previous repository: Terrae database
