Hi there Sisay If you were prepared to upgrade to 1.6 you could export your records from Inmagic in the ascii delimited format and then craft this into a csv file which when uploaded via Batch Metadata Editing tools create all new records, this is probably the easiest way to achieve your goal. It takes only an hour so to import 1000's of records.
If you are stuck on 1.5, you could use the same acscii export and use the Excel batch import spreadsheet to achieve this. Its fiddly but it creates the batch importing XML. There are a few varieties of this, I have only used the one from NUS and it was great. If you want to hand craft the XML from Inmagic you will need to split it into single records and make some scripts to create the XML import format, again this will take you a while. We have some slides/presentations here at Auckland and can send these to you if you choose the first option. We also did a presentation at Open Repositories outlining this. cheers Leonie Hayes Research Repository Manager University of Auckland New Zealand Message: 1 Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2010 16:29:13 +0300 From: "Webshet, Sisay (ILRI)" <[email protected]> Subject: [Dspace-tech] Inmmagic to dspace 1.5 To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <e0b1bfd2eacafb4c9bdbc73eeea14c1701c71...@ilrietx1.ilri.cgiarad.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hi, I am currently working on migrating metadata and items from InMagic to Dspace. An XML generated by InMagic. As some one comment "I've made a report form that InMagic can generate in XML Dublin Core format and sparsed the file into multiple pieces." Any other experience Regards, Sisay ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
