We're new to DSpace and I am trying to implement some batch loads of some
ETDs and also some audio files.
We're using ver 1.5.1 on a Red Hat Linux platform.
I have tried the import program to load some .mp3 filesfrom a directory. The
program runs but doesn't load anything and doesn't write anything to the
mapfile. We get no error messages either.
I also have ETDs in zip files from Proquest. Proquest supplies a pdf file
with a corresponding xml metadataflie packaged in each zip file. It seems
like the packager program should be able to handle these, but if you specify
pdf format, it seems to expect metadata embedded in the pdf, not an xml
file.
I've seen documantation mention special crosswalks and packager plugins, but
cant's seem to find any actual examples of how to build this for
the ETDs. Have any of you successfully loaded pdfs or ETDs in batch? I
realize many sites enter ETDs into DSpace for export to Proquest, but we are
going in the opposite direction, from Proquest to DSpace.
