If I'm going to create those files manually, I might just as well use the web UI, honestly. I do batch imports to get at least *some* of the work automated. That doesn't mean it all can be automated every time; I've spent plenty of time tidying up dublin_core.xml files by hand, especially when the source of the metadata is screenscraped HTML. But some automation is better than none. And scripting the creation of contents files is pretty simple; I *never* do that by hand. If anybody wants cruddy Python code to do it, let me know. (It's slightly more complicated than ls > contents, because... well, it just is. But if I can do it, it's not that complicated.) I would trust anything coming from Claudia implicitly. :) Dorothea -- Dorothea Salo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Digital Repository Librarian AIM: mindsatuw University of Wisconsin Rm 218, Memorial Library (608) 262-5493 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech
