Hi Keith, The best way is to batch import, using the shell script command "import" in dspace/bin. Details see the dspace manual.
Now your metadata is in tsv. You need some programming effort to transform them into dublin_core.xml. There are existing converters for creating the xml files. They may or may not suit your special needs. Sometimes writing your own converter is faster than search-and-test for existing programs. Best, Allen Lam.
