    135136<Text id="65">When you add a file, the Librarian Interface searches through the source folders for auxiliary files containing metadata previously assigned to the added file and, if it finds one, begins to import this metadata.  As the operation proceeds, you may be prompted (perhaps several times) for extra information to match the imported metadata to the metadata sets in your collection.  This process involves many different prompts, described in the <Reference target="importingpreviouslyassignedmetadata"/> section.  For a more detailed explanation of associating metadata with files read Chapter 2 of the Greenstone Developer's Guide -- Getting the most out of your documents.</Text>
    136 <Text id="65a">You can also add a "dummy" document to the collection by right-clicking in the Collection Tree or on a folder, and selecting "New dummy document". This will create a new empty file to which metadata can be assigned. The file can be replaced with a "real" file later on.</Text>

    155157</Title>
    156 <Text id="exm-2">Metadata database file types, such as MARC, CDS/ISIS, BibTex, Refer and ProCite, can be imported into Greenstone but their metadata cannot be IMMEDIATELY viewed or edited in the Librarian Interface. To see or edit any metadata, you can "explode" the file in the Librarian Interface and view or edit the metadata afterwards. Alternatively, particularly if you are maintaining a master external application, you can go back to the program that created the file, make your corrections, and reimport.</Text>

    157159<Text id="exm-3">"Exploding" a metadata database file splits it into individual records, with viewable and editable metadata. This process is irreversible: the original metadata file is deleted.</Text>
    158 <Text id="exm-4">Explodable files have a green icon in the Collection tree. To explode one, right click it and choose "Explode metadata database". A popup window shows options for the exploding process. The first option ("plugin") specifies the plugin to be used for exploding. In most cases, only one plugin will process a particular type of file, but in some cases, where different file types share the same filename extension, there may be two plugins that both process files with that extension. The "input_encoding" option can be used to specify the encoding of the database. The "metadata_set" option specifies the metadata set to which the new fields generated by exploding should be added. If none is specified, you will be prompted for what to do with each new field in the database: add it as a new element to an existing metadata set, merge with another element, or ignore.</Text>

    159161<Text id="exm-5">When a file is exploded, a new empty document is created for each record, and the metadata from the record is assigned to the document. These are named using numbers such as 000001.nul, 000002.nul etc. If the "document_field" option is set (to a database field name), the value of this field, if present, will be used for the filename. The exploding process will also try to download the file and use it instead of an empty file. The "document_prefix" and "document_suffix" options can be used to make a valid URL or file path from the document_field value. The "records_per_folder" option can be used to group exploded records into sub-folders. If the database is very large, using this option will accelerate subsequent metadata editing.</Text>
    160162<Text id="exm-6">Explodability is determined by file extension. In some cases, files may be incorrectly labelled as explodable if they have the same file extension as an explodable file. For example, the ProCite plugin processes files with a .txt extension, but most .txt files are plain text files, not ProCite files.</Text>
     
    166168<Text id="70">"Filtering" the collection and workspace trees allows you to narrow down the search for particular files.</Text>

    180182<Text id="76">Use the <AutoText key="glidict::GUI.Enrich"/> view to assign metadata to the documents in the collection. Metadata is data about data -- typically title, author, creation date, and so on.  Each metadata item has two parts: <AutoText key="glidict::Metadata.Element"/> tells what kind of item it is (such as author), and <AutoText key="glidict::Metadata.Value"/> gives the value of that metadata element (such as the author's name).</Text>
    181183<Text id="77">On the left of the <AutoText key="glidict::GUI.Enrich"/> view is the Collection Tree. All the right-click functionality that was available for the Collection Tree in the <AutoText key="glidict::GUI.Gather"/> view is available here too. To the right is the Metadata Table, which shows metadata for any selected files or folders in the Collection Tree.  Columns are named in black at the top, and can be resized by dragging the separating line. If several files or folders are selected, black text indicates that the value is common to all of the selected items, while grey text indicates that it is not. Editing grey values will only affect those documents with that metadata. Any new metadata values entered will be added to all selected items.</Text>
    182 <Text id="78">A folder icon may appear beside some metadata entries.  This indicates that the values are inherited from a parent (or ancestor) folder.  Inherited metadata cannot be edited or removed, only appended to or overwritten.  Click on the folder icon to go immediately to the folder where the metadata is assigned.</Text>

    183185<Text id="79">Clicking on a metadata element in the table will display the existing values for that element in the <AutoText key="glidict::EnrichPane.ExistingValues" args="..."/> area below the table. This "Value Tree" expands and collapses.  Usually it is a list that shows all values entered previously for the selected element.  Clicking an entry automatically places it into the value field.  Conversely, typing in the value field selects the Value Tree entry that starts with the characters you have typed.  Pressing [Tab] auto-completes the typing with the selected value.</Text>
    184186<Text id="80">Metadata values can be organized into a hierarchy. This is shown in the Value Tree using folders for internal levels. Hierarchical values can be entered using the character "|" to separate the levels. For example, "Cards|Red|Diamonds|Seven" might be used in a hierarchy that represents a pack of playing cards. This enables values to be grouped together. Groups can also be assigned as metadata to files.</Text>
     
    190192</Title>
    191193<Text id="83">Sets of predefined metadata elements are known as "metadata sets".  An example is the Dublin Core metadata set.  When you add a metadata set to your collection, its elements become available for selection.  You can have more than one set; to prevent name clashes a short identifier that identifies the metadata set is pre-pended to the element name.  For instance the Dublin Core element Creator becomes "dc.Creator".  Metadata sets are stored in the Librarian Interface's metadata folder and have the suffix ".mds".</Text>
    192 <Text id="84">When you create a new collection, the Dublin Core metadata set is added by default. You can change which metadata sets are used in a collection by clicking the "Manage Metadata Sets..." button underneath the Collection Tree in the Enrich view.

To add one of these, select it from the list and click "Add". If you have defined your own metadata set, you can use the "Browse" button to locate the file on your file system.</Text>
    195197<Text id="84c">To create a new metadata set, click "New...". This will launch the Greenstone Editor for Metadata Sets, GEMS. An initial popup window prompts you for the set name, namespace and description. You can also choose to base the new set on an existing one, in which case it will inherit all the elements from the specified set. Click OK. The main window shows the elements of metadata set on the left hand side, and some attributes for the set on the right hand side. If you have based the set on an existing one, one or more elements will be displayed. Clicking one displays attributes of the element in the right hand side.</Text>
    196198<Text id="84d">To add a new element, right click on the name of the set and choose "Add Element". To add a new subelement, right click on the element and choose "Add Subelement". Elements and subelements can be deleted by choosing "Delete (Sub)element" from the right click menu. </Text>
    197 <Text id="84e">Note: the Greenstone Editor for Metadata Sets can be run independently of GLI by selecting it from the Greenstone folder in the Start menu, or by running gens.sh or gems.bat in the gli folder of your Greenstone installation.</Text>

    198200<Text id="84f">Sometimes two metadata sets may have the same namespace, for example, Dublin Core and Qualified Dublin Core both use the namespace "dc". Such sets cannot be used in the collection at the same time. If you try to add a set with a namespace already used by the collection, a warning will be shown. If you go ahead, the existing set will be removed and the new one added. Any assigned metadata values will be transferred to the new set providing those elements still exist.</Text>
    199201<Text id="191">With GEMS you can edit existing metadata sets as well as create new ones. Clicking the "Edit" button launches GEMS with the specified metadata set open. Once you have finished editing the set (as described above), save it (File->Save) and close GEMS.</Text>
