Dear Sawsan, we have recently done this again for one of our clients. As far as we know, there is no way in ContentDM to "package up" the files together with the metadata.
So the method we resorted to is: - ensuring the metadata XML exports contain a reference to a uniquely named file - have the client deliver us all the uniquely named files in a big zip (or several zips) And then on our end, we wrote custom code to resolve & import the file based on the match between the filename in the XML metadata, and the presence of a file with that name in the provided ZIP. In your specific situation, where the metadata import into DSpace is already finished, the question would be whether your DSpace metadata, right now, contains a reference to the filename? If that's the case, you could leverage this with custom scripts, iterate over these items and try to resolve these names against a directory where you have gathered the files with those names. with kindest regards, Bram [image: logo] Bram Luyten *250-B Luci*us Gordon Drive, Suite 3A, West Henrietta, NY 14586 Gaston Geenslaan 14, 3001 Leuven, Belgium atmire.com <http://atmire.com/website/?q=services&utm_source=emailfooter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=braml> On Wed, 14 Nov 2018 at 09:55, Sawsan Habre <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello > > > > The decision in our library was taken to remove CONTENTdm and to import > all the metadata and objects to our LAU repository (LAUR) ( > http://libraries.lau.edu.lb/research/laur (DSpace software) > > > > Did any library had to do the same export/import procedure?
