Hmm. There is always the REST API. If you have some sort of existing structure information, you could built a tool that sends lots of requests that create this structure in your DSpace via REST.
Some bash scripts, that for example create communities and collections, using REST. https://github.com/DSpace-Labs/dspace-rest-requests I would probably build this in a friendly language, such as python/php/java, rather than pure bash, as you would likely need to add programming logic. ________________ Peter Dietz Longsight www.longsight.com pe...@longsight.com p: 740-599-5005 x809 On Mon, Sep 28, 2015 at 10:50 AM, Arthur Sady Cordeiro Rossetti < arthurs...@gmail.com> wrote: > The problem is, Im not only importing the items, I need to catalogue them > into collections named acording to their theme I have more than 19.000 > items to import and between those I have no idea how many themes and > therefore how many collections I will need to put under specific > structures, I am going to use the Item import command in a later step, but > first I need to create the structure of collections.
