Hi, great that it works now.
Creating batch imports by hand is not very efficient. DSpace basically works on crosswalks and packagers. There are many ways of crosswalking content. It largely depends on your use case and your data. One distinction is whether you need it regularly or not. If you're just migrating one big chunk from a proprietary format you might write your own skript to transform (correct, enrich) the metadata and create the appropriate import structure. If you're regularly importing items (e.g. from a catalogue, database) might be worth creating an interface. Hope that helps Claudia upload schrieb: > > Thanks Claudia and Dorothea!
