| [9644] | 13 | This section describes how to import previously assigned metadata: metadata assigned to documents before they were added to the collection.
|
|---|
| [11093] | 14 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| [6576] | 15 | If metadata in a form recognized by the Librarian Interface has been previously
|
|---|
| 16 | assigned to a file -- for example, when you choose documents from an existing
|
|---|
| 17 | Greenstone collection -- it is imported automatically when you add the file.
|
|---|
| 18 | To do this, the metadata must be mapped to the metadata sets available in the
|
|---|
| 19 | collection.
|
|---|
| 20 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 21 | The Librarian Interface prompts for the necessary information. The prompt
|
|---|
| 22 | gives brief instructions and then shows the name of the metadata element that
|
|---|
| 23 | is being imported, just as it appears in the source file. This field cannot be
|
|---|
| 24 | edited or changed. Next you choose what metadata set the new element should map
|
|---|
| 25 | to, and then the appropriate metadata element in that set. The system
|
|---|
| 26 | automatically selects the closest match, in terms of set and element, for the
|
|---|
| 27 | new metadata.
|
|---|
| 28 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 29 | Having checked the mapping, you can choose "Add" to add the new metadata
|
|---|
| 30 | element to the chosen metadata set. (This is only enabled if there is no
|
|---|
| [11067] | 31 | element of the same name within the chosen set.) "Merge" maps the new element
|
|---|
| [6576] | 32 | to the one chosen by the user. Finally, "Ignore" does not import any metadata
|
|---|
| [9644] | 33 | with this element name. Once you have specified how to import a certain piece of metadata, the mapping
|
|---|
| 34 | information is retained for the collection's lifetime.
|
|---|
| [6576] | 35 | <p></p>

|---|
