DSpacers, It's a funny thing, the DSpace Batch Import Format (of which there are two) are not documented anywhere other than looking at the source code. We've run across the situation where a department has some content to put into the repository and the resources to create a batch import, but just don't know how to do it. To solve this problem, we've created a simple hand out to provide to a programmer or technical person in another department or group when they want to develop their own batch import script. While it doesn't cover the advanced topics, like registering bitstreams etc, nor dose it go over the package importer, it should solve the problem for the vast majority of cases where someone needs to create a batch import.
I thought this might be useful to others out there, the only other resource on creating batch imports I was able to find is Dorothea's blog: http://cavlec.yarinareth.net/2008/01/07/the-dspace-batch- importer/.
