Hi!
Hi, thank you for your answer!

Or a bunch of public domain eBooks (just author and title,
no hint about which edition was used etc.).
Your collection shound't get too large with such little
amount of data. (Ok, I'm a librarian. ;)
Several authors are easy:
Last1, First1 Middle1; Last2, First2; Last3, First3 Fathersname3
Good luck...
I get different media/document types in different tables,
the differences are marginal (e.g. number of pages vs.
length in minutes), and I can handle them in my script.
Just as a simple word of warning: this stuff tends to get
messy over time.
(BibTeX or friends are not an option? Would at least handle
the simple specialities correctly. Editing via Jabref e.g.
is quite easy…)
The staff only knows "standard" office applications; I
bother the translators to use POedit, but won't try to
convince anyone to use some other program that I never
used ;-)
Any literature management tool (commercial stuff like
EndNote, Citavi, RefManager,... well I live more in the free
world of Latex) has some advantages here, if you want to go
for batch upload. Simply as it guides the user a bit to what
fields are required and picks them apart.
OTOH, if they enter it manually anyway, you would probably
be better off with setting up simple websubmits, that handle
your fields.
Depends. If you can load parts of your data to websubmit and
then pass it on to invenio it might help to get better data.
We do this semiautomatic ingesting for e.g. journal articles
via DIO, books via ISBN and stuff like that.
Ok. Of course we need to be able to update data after uploading.
Would also make an argument for a websubmit.
[...]
for corrections. Depending on complexity websubmit could be
easier to handle than direct bibedit. (Innerrecordlinking in
bibedit is a bit pita, complex structured fields require
some work.)
I'll still have to find out how to…
- translate/alias keywords or taxonomy (we need to find
media independent of language)
Well you have fields for them. Indexing would go to the
650-fields in Marc (check out indicators; 6507_ with
subfield 2 mentioning the source could be resonable), for
titles you have 24x fields. Translated titles would map to
242, subfields a for main title, b for subtitle, y for
language code. Then you could expand your title-index in
invenio to cover those additional fields.
Anyway, in a flat table you have some problem if not all
fields apply. Say you have in some cases an english, a
french and a german title you xls would require all three
columns all the time. In websubmits you'd just leave the
fields blank and let the submission functions handle it.
- cope with media that consists of several files (e.g.
audio book chapters)
Several files is not that much an issue as you can just add
a bunch to any dataset. You can repeat the special fft-tag
in your MarcXML and upload them in one go eg.
BTW: The upcoming Invenio User Group meeting might be of
interest to you.

Would be nice, but I'm sitting in Kyrgyzstan for the time being…
Well, could have worked out. Especially, to give you a
helping hand at starting out, as many users/programmers will
be here in one spot.
