Hi Robert,
We're testing the possibility of using the DSpace simple archive format
and item importer to create a DSpace record without a corresponding
item. Here's what we're doing:
1. Create the records in the dublin_core.xml format as described in the
"Item Importer and Exporter/DSpace simple archive format" section of
the DSpace documentation.
2. Assemble all the dublin_core.xml files into the DSpace simple archive
format (described in the same section of the documentation), but leave
out the contents and file portions. So, it might look like this:
archive_directory/
item_000/
dublin_core.xml
item_001/
dublin_core.xml
item_002/
dublin_core.xml
etc.
3. Run the item importer.
We've completed only step 1, so I'm not sure this works. I'll send a
more complete description once we're further along.
