You can update Bitstream description fields under program control with the LNI. It may even be possible to do this pretty easily with a scriptable WebDAV client like cadaver, or by writing a very simple LNI client. See http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/LightweightNetworkInterface#PROPFIND_and_PROPPATCH_XML_elements Bitstream resources have a "dspace:description" property that is writable. Please refer to http://web.mit.edu/lcs/www/lni/ for a cleaner version of the LNI API document -- the one on the wiki is still very chewed-up from the conversion. -- Larry ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
