Hi,
DSpace has an importer call ItemImport, but it doesn't import data from another database, it imports the item information from a XML file with the Dublin Core structure (called dublin_core.xml). The importer requires the XML file, the item file and a file named contents (with a list of files to import) and it can be called from a terminal (or a cron) this way: [dspace]/bin/dsrun org.dspace.app.itemimport.ItemImport --add --eperson=user --collection=collectionID --source=items_dir --mapfile=mapfile You might use a script that find the parameters into another file or some other way. Some more information about the importer is available in http://www.dspace.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=144 (Importing Items section). I hope it helps you. -----Mensaje original----- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2008 03:49:51 -0400 From: "Shomorony, Ilan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Dspace-tech] Importing metadata into DSpace To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello everyone, I know this is not a very specific question, but maybe someone can help me or give me a piece of advice. I set up DSpace for one of my professors, because he would like to have a way of making all projects that he advised available online and searchable. We already have a complete database of all these projects, with all the details that will eventually become the metadata of the items, once I add them all to our DSpace. However, I was thinking that there may be a good way of simply importing from our projects database into one of the DSpace databases and have DSpace recognize the entries as new items... Is there a way of doing something like that? We have hundreds of projects and it would be very helpful if I could do something like this...
