| 46 | If metadata in a form recognized by the Librarian Interface has been previously
|
|---|
| 47 | assigned to a file -- for example, when you choose documents from an existing
|
|---|
| 48 | Greenstone collection -- it is imported automatically when you add the file.
|
|---|
| 49 | To do this, the metadata must be mapped to the metadata sets available in the
|
|---|
| 50 | collection.
|
|---|
| 51 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 52 | The Librarian Interface prompts for the necessary information. The prompt
|
|---|
| 53 | gives brief instructions and then shows the name of the metadata element that
|
|---|
| 54 | is being imported, just as it appears in the source file. This field cannot be
|
|---|
| 55 | edited or changed. Next you choose what metadata set the new element should map
|
|---|
| 56 | to, and then the appropriate metadata element in that set. The system
|
|---|
| 57 | automatically selects the closest match, in terms of set and element, for the
|
|---|
| 58 | new metadata.
|
|---|
| 59 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 60 | Having checked the mapping, you can choose "Add" to add the new metadata
|
|---|
| 61 | element to the chosen metadata set. (This is only enabled if there is no
|
|---|
| 62 | element of the same name within the chosen set.) "Merge" maps the new element
|
|---|
| 63 | to the one chosen by the user. Finally, "Ignore" does not import any metadata
|
|---|
| 64 | with this element name.
|
|---|
| 65 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 66 | Once you have specified how to import a certain piece of metadata, the mapping
|
|---|
| 67 | information is retained for the collection's lifetime. To correct any mistakes
|
|---|
| 68 | during importing, use the metadata set editor described in <a href="editingmetadatasets.htm#editingmetadatasets">Editing Metadata Sets</a>.
|
|---|
| 69 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 70 | For details on the metadata.xml files which Greenstone uses to store the metadata, see Chapter 2 of the Greenstone
