Read metadata for book from xml

msel · 05-26-2017, 04:11 PM

Hello,

I've exported Webpages to the .maff-format (a .zip-format) and I can add them to the calibre library by renaming them to .zip. In every .maff is an .xml-file with descriptions of the webpage, e.g.

Code:

<RDF:RDF>
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:root">
<MAF:originalurl RDF:resource="https://www.howtoforge.com/linux-cmp-command/"/>
<MAF:title RDF:resource="Linux cmp command tutorial for beginners (7 examples)"/><MAF:archivetime RDF:resource="Thu May 25 2017 18:58:59 GMT+0200 (CEST)"/><MAF:indexfilename RDF:resource="index.html"/>
<MAF:charset RDF:resource="UTF-8"/>
</RDF:Description>
</RDF:RDF>

Is it possible to read those files to update metadata from exisiting .zip-html websites?
Or is there any add-on which can help to read those files and import them to calibre?

Greetings, Maria

Since the only metadata that seems useful there is title and perhaps original resource. You can probably just use a script to rename the files to have that metadata in the filename and let calibre read it from there.
