External authority provider

TODO: RDM 12 version, update to RDM14

For cases when autosuggestions and addition of items to a specific vocabulary from some external authority source is needed, configure the authority provider field in your INVENIO_VOCABULARY_TYPE_METADATA for a specific vocabulary.

For example, the following will allow suggestion of additional institutions from external ROR authority provider:

invenio.cfg


from oarepo_vocabularies.authorities import RORProviderV2
 
INVENIO_VOCABULARY_TYPE_METADATA = {
    "institutions-backed-by-ror": {
        "name": {"cs": "Instituce", "en": "Institutions"},
        "authority": RORProviderV2,
        "props": {
            ...
        },
    },

Additionally, make sure you have enabled the AuthorityComponent on your record model, e.g.:

model.yaml


record:
  # ...
  service-config:
    components:
      - "{{oarepo_vocabularies.authorities.components.AuthorityComponent}}"
      # - ...

If that’s not the case, add it and recompile your model.

When some custom authority provider not bundled as part of the oarepo-vocabularies library is needed, follow the External Authority provider development guide on how to create one.
