Hi Alice,
Help Please…
How do I create a custom form for indexing an item or file?
Scenario: I want to index a pdf document which belongs to the finance
department. The following are the fields with which it has to be indexed.
Department
Document Type
Date of Submission
Authorized by
So I want to index an item or a file in dspace with the above mentioned custom
field. But I could see only the default fields like [author name, title,
etc.,]. Where should I create a custom form and how to create it?
Dspace version 1.6.0
Thanks in advance
regards,
Prabhakaran S

Oh, okay. I have DSpace 1.5, so I don’t know the answer to your question. Be
sure to let the listserv users know what version you are using. Good luck!

Hi Alice,
I tried the steps enlisted in the excel spreadsheet. Successfully built the
Dublin_core.xml

This is how the contents of these two files look like.
I went to dspace>>Administer>>Importmetadata>>Chose the Dublin_core.xml file
from the sub-directory and clicked on upload. It returned with an error.
Error: An unknown error has occurred.
Operating system = Windows Vista Ultimate.
Is this the right way of uploading. If not please let us know what should we
do.
//Attachment – Batch_importer.xls – modified to import the pdf files from my
system.
Thanks in advance

I've been using an Excel document with macros that export to XML, that was
graciously provided by Tom McGhee at Seton Hall. It is attached. We are using
DSpace 1.5.2, XMLUI (Manakin) and the batch import works pretty well for us.
There are three worksheets in the document. The instructions are on the
“settings” sheet. The metadata is entered by a human into the “Dublin_core”
sheet. The Manifest sheet is filled in automatically when you click on the
“Build the Manifest!” button; I left it filled in from the last time I used it
so you can see what it should look like.
The information in your Excel spreadsheet can just be copied and pasted into
the “Dublin_core” sheet, and then you would change the headers so that they are
Dublin Core metadata elements. (Make sure each element you use is also in the
“Metadata Registry” in DSpace.) Then follow the directions on the “settings”
sheet.
After you have created your XML files, follow the instructions in the DSpace
Course to import files. Let me know if you have any more questions or problems.
By the way, The DSpace Course assumes you are using Linux; we are using Windows
and discovered the commands needed to be slightly altered to fit the Windows
programming format... so just a heads up if you're not on Linux.
More information about batch import available from:
The DSpace Course - look for "import and export" -

How this can be converted into metadata so as to import into dspace?
What are the steps should be followed?
Is this the right method of creating a metadata?
Please help us with your suggestions.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
You can try this http://tds.terkko.helsinki.fi/utils/
It's a small php script that creates full directory structure out of csv file.
Just follow the instructions and take a look at the examples.

It sounds like you want to "batch import". If you search the General listserv
archive, you'll find a discussion of the process from about a month ago; Keith
Pickett started a discussion on Feb 22 with the subject heading "New to DSpace"
and the threads continue on Feb 23.
There are basic instructions on the DSpace website: go to Resources/Training
Materials and look for "Import and Export" in The DSpace Course presentation
collection.
