| 45 | If metadata in a form recognized by the Librarian Interface has been previously
|
|---|
| 46 | assigned to a file -- for example, when you choose documents from an existing
|
|---|
| 47 | Greenstone collection -- it is imported automatically when you add the file.
|
|---|
| 48 | To do this, the metadata must be mapped to the metadata sets available in the
|
|---|
| 49 | collection.
|
|---|
| 50 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 51 | The Librarian Interface prompts for the necessary information. The prompt
|
|---|
| 52 | gives brief instructions and then shows the name of the metadata element that
|
|---|
| 53 | is being imported, just as it appears in the source file. This field cannot be
|
|---|
| 54 | edited or changed. Next you choose what metadata set the new element should map
|
|---|
| 55 | to, and then the appropriate metadata element in that set. The system
|
|---|
| 56 | automatically selects the closest match, in terms of set and element, for the
|
|---|
| 57 | new metadata.
|
|---|
| 58 | <p></p>
|
|---|
| 59 | Having checked the mapping, you can choose "Add" to add the new metadata
|
|---|
| 60 | element to the chosen metadata set. (This is only enabled if there is no
|
|---|
| 61 | element of the same name within the chosen set.) "Replace" maps the new element
|
|---|
| 62 | to the one chosen by the user. Finally, "Ignore" does not import any metadata
|
|---|
| 63 | with this element name. Once you have specified how to import a certain piece of metadata, the mapping
|
|---|
| 64 | information is retained for the collection's lifetime.
|
|---|
| 65 | <p></p>
