Re: [CODE4LIB] XMP Metadata to tab-delemited file
Simon, CONTENTdm in our case needs a tab delimited file with the following fields (with the xmp tag in parenthesis): title (XMP-dc:Title), date, collection / source (XMP-photoshop:Source), description (XMP-dc:Description), rights (XMP-dc:Rights), subject, creator (XMP-dc:Creator), contributors, notes, filename (System:FileName). For those that I do not have XMP tags for I know that I won't be pulling that information out of the image metadata. In our case the image description is being entered by technitians directly into the image file using Adobe Bridge so I'm fairly confident that we'll be able to pull back out what we need. If you know people at NIST I'd be happy to expand my contact list here on campus! :) Thanks for all the help, Andrea ___ Andrea Medina-Smith Metadata Librarian NIST Gaithersburg andrea.medina-sm...@nist.gov 301-975-2592 Be Green!

The problem is that XMP uses an RDF syntax that comes in many flavours and doesn't result in a predictable set of xpaths to apply the XSLT to. XSLT is not a good tool for many kinds of XML processing. In your situation, string processing or scanning for what tags are present and then outputting in delimited text so you know what is where is probably a better way to go. kyle
[CODE4LIB] XMP Metadata to tab-delemited file

Re: [CODE4LIB] XMP Metadata to tab-delemited file
I can get the data out, and I can even get a single file created w/ all the metadata for all the images in the collection. It's just that it is unstructured and not useful as such. Anything xml would also be useful, but I haven't found a product that does that.

[CODE4LIB] CONTENTdm xml to CrossRef xml
Hello, I've searched the listserv, but I haven't found anything on this. I'm convinced someone has done it before us here at NIST. Basically, we are in the process of depositing DOIs for legacy articles with CrossRef, and while we can do it via a web entry form it would be much easier and faster if I could transform the xml that is exported from our CONTENTdm repository to the schema used by CrossRef. Has anyone come up with the xslt for that particular transformation? I'm comfortable w/ xml, but not with xsl so noob alert.
