Hello, you got to put the metadata of each schema used in a different file with no redundancies. The naming of the elements "dcvalue" dates from the time, when there was only one schema possible. This will be changed on clearing the deprecated DCValue class.
To enhance the example, say you want to import an item with the following metadata: dc.title = Some title dc.creator.author = Doe, Jane xx.affiliation = Some Organization yy.publisher.place = Timbuktu You got to create the following metadata files: dublin_core.xml metadata_xx.xml metadata_yy.xml metadata_zz.xml The content of the files would be: dublin_core.xml: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?> <dublin_core> <dcvalue element="title" qualifier="none" language="en">Some title</dcvalue> <dcvalue element="contributor" qualifier="author">Doe, Jane</dcvalue> </dublin_core> metadata_xx.xml: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?> <dublin_core> <dcvalue element="affiliation" qualifier="none">Some Organization</dcvalue> </dublin_core> metadata_yy.xml: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?> <dublin_core> <dcvalue element="publisher" qualifier="place" language="de">Timbuktu</dcvalue> </dublin_core> Note the qualifier attribute is mandatory, the language not. But the language is important with regards to sorting and searching. Hope that helps Claudia Jürgen Am 31.05.2011 16:28, schrieb Saqib Ilyas: > Thanks very much Claudia.
