The map file is an OUTPUT file that is created when you do a DSpace import.  It 
will contain a number (normally an integer beginning with 1 and incrementing 
with each imported record) and the handle that was assigned to the new Item in 
your repository.  It can either be saved as a record of the Items that were 
imported in that batch, or it can be used as input to a "delete" of that batch 
of Items (using ItemImport) if something is wrong with the imported records and 
they have to be deleted.

The format of the file is:

Number               Handle

1                                             <handle-prefix>/handle_id


Example:   Let's say you imported 3 records in your batch.  Here's what your 
map file might look like after a successful import of the three items:


1                     2042/347989

2                     2042/347990

3                     2042/347991

Hope this helps!
