glx add source

Create a source entity

Synopsis

Create a Source entity in the archive.

--title is required (or --id). --type is validated against the source_types vocabulary. --repository must reference an existing repository.

--url, --publication-info, --call-number, --source-nature and --information-type set the matching source properties. --source-nature and --information-type are validated against the source_natures and information_types vocabularies.
