Martin, I admit I haven't tried this in Fedora 3 yet (what version are you using?), but you can make a Fedora modified directives file, and run it as a set of commands to modify your Fedora objects. I have written an XSLT transformation which I run on a batch of foxml includes to generate a modify directives file, and I'm happy to share it with you if you like (although it is probably specific to our content models). -Deborah -- Deborah Kaplan Digital Resources Archivist Digital Collections and Archives Tufts University ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Fedora-commons-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fedora-commons-users
