We've found a certain amount of dirty data in our DSpace instance and we would like to correct it.
We are considering doing this by extracting records that need correction from the database into a spreadsheet, by editing the spreadsheet, and then by updating the spreadsheet data into the database. This would be more efficient and less error prone than doing all of this through the GUI. It is mostly editing or adding metadata field text values and moving items that were placed in the wrong collection. Will this bypass a record keeping function that is managed by the GUI and will it cause problems in the future? For instance, the metadatavalue table includes the columns place, authority, and confidence. The last two seem unused, but the first is just an integer that means nothing to me.
