Hello Bhala,

Unfortunately, DSpace requires very specific input formats, and cannot
simply import any file that you export from EPrints.  Unfortunately, that
"dc.txt" file is not a format that DSpace will understand.

It looks like you are using the DSpace "Batch Import" option (from the
JSPUI), and selecting that the format is "CSV" (comma-separated values).
However, that "dc.txt" format is not a valid CSV file. CSV files are
spreadsheets of metadata, and DSpace expects to import a CSV that has
columns which correspond to valid metadata fields in DSpace.  So, if you
wish to simply import metadata, you'd have to transform that "dc.txt" file
into a valid CSV that DSpace will understand.

The CSV format that DSpace understands is the format that is exported from
the Batch Metadata Editing tool:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Batch+Metadata+Editing

Keep in mind though that, when importing a CSV, you can *only* import
metadata -- no files will be imported alongside that metadata.

Another option is to use that same "Batch Import" option, but to upload a
"Simple Archive Format" package (as a Zip file).  This format allows you to
import both metadata and files.  See the documentation at:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Importing+and+Exporting+Items+via+Simple+Archive+Format#ImportingandExportingItemsviaSimpleArchiveFormat-UIBatchImport(JSPUI)
 More details about the Simple Archive Format can be found at:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Importing+and+Exporting+Items+via+Simple+Archive+Format


I'll admit, I don't know which option is better for you, as it's unclear if
you are migrating metadata-only content, or if you have metadata + files
that you wish to upload into DSpace.  If you provide more information about
what you are trying to migrate, others on this mailing list might have more
specific advice on how to either create a proper CSV (for metadata-only
import) or create a Simple Archive Format package (for metadata + files
import).

Finally, if you want someone to simply do the migration for you, you also
could consider contacting one of our DSpace Service Providers.  Our Service
Providers are experts in migrating content into DSpace, and you could
contact them for a quote for doing this work on your behalf.  Here's the
service providers list:

Sincerely,

Tim
