    76 To add a metadata set, choose "Metadata Sets" from the menu bar and select the
    77 "Import Set" action.  A list appears that shows the sets stored in the Librarian
    78 Interface's metadata folder.  Choose one and open it, or click "Browse" to
    79 locate metadata set files stored elsewhere. If the metadata elements have associated value trees, you will be asked whether to import
    80 all values associated with the elements in the set, just those values that make
    81 up the structure of hierarchy-based metadata, or no values at all.

    85 To install a newer version of a metadata set, simply add it as above.  The
    86 Librarian Interface merges the sets, but does not alter values you have
    87 entered.  You may be asked how to merge certain elements.  For example if the
    88 current set and the one you are importing share a common element (which is
    89 likely if you are installing a new version of a set), you are shown as much
    90 information about the existing and new elements as possible, and asked how to
    91 proceed.  Options include merging the elements, renaming the new one, replacing
    92 the old element entirely, or skipping this element.  When merging two elements
    93 you are confronted with the same options, but this time at the "attributes"
    94 (rather than "elements") level.  You can cancel the import operation at any
    95 time.
    96 <p></p>
    97 The ".mds" files are expressed in XML format.  You can edit an existing metadata
    98 set or create a new one with an ordinary text editor.  If you are starting a
    99 new file, copy the Document Type Definition and be sure to follow it, otherwise
    100 the Librarian Interface will be unable to load the metadata set.  Use of an
    101 XML validator or validating editor is recommended.
    102 <p></p>
    103 To export a metadata set, or part of one (e.g.  its assigned value hierarchy, or
    104 all its values), return to the Librarian Interface and choose "Export Set" from
    105 the "Metadata Set" menu.  You will be asked to select appropriate export
    106 options, and a file to export into.
     59To control the metadata sets used in a collection, use the "Metadata Sets" entry on the Design view.
