There _was_ documentation for the venerable batch importer in the HTML pages in the docs subdirectory; in a source checkout, it's at the relative path: dspace/trunk/dspace/docs/application.html#itemimporter (I can't get the location in the Subversion repository because Sourceforge seems to be having a bad hair day..)
Your new PDF document is better -- could you at least put it up on the wiki for how? The default METS SIP (Submission Information Package) accepted by the package ingester is also mentioned in the HTML docs: dspace/trunk/dspace/docs/application.html#packager but the link to a document describing the METS SIP profile is broken: http://www.dspace.org/standards/METS/SIP/profilev1p0/metsipv1p0.pdf There _is_ a page about it on the WIKI, although it could use some cleanup: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DSpaceMETSSIPProfile It could use an annotated example of a complete submission package, I think that would be the most helpful part for anyone putting their own SIPs together. (They should also see the "DSpace SIP Toolkit" wiki page) -- Larry > It's a funny thing, the DSpace Batch Import Format (of which there are > two) are not documented anywhere other than looking at the source > code.
