Amit, That approach should be fine. I cannot think of any big drawback to creating a web interface that just calls the dspace import script underneath. You'd obviously just want to be sure to call the dspace import script with the currently logged in user's information (otherwise all items will look as though they were imported by a single user).
Beyond that, this seems like a reasonable approach. - Tim On 4/4/2012 1:02 PM, Amit Jha wrote: > Tim, > > Thanks for your reply.
