Note

Before you can batch ingest objects, you will need to have downloaded and installed the Islandora Batch Importer moduleImporter module (web interface) or the Islandora Batch module (command line). If you want to batch ingest books, you will need to have downloaded and installed the Islandora Book Batch module; if you want to batch ingest newspaper issues, you will need to have downloaded and installed the Islandora Newspaper Batch module. It is also strongly encouraged that you review the mods_to_dc.xsl within the Islandora Book Batch module if you plan to ingest MODS metadata. Reviewing the mods_to_dc.xsl will help you to understand what type of Dublin Core will be produced by the mods_to_dc.xsl. For example, you may notice that the mods_to_dc.xsl will not produce clean Dublin Core subject tags - all individual MODS subject tags will be expressed as one Dublin Core subject tab. The mods_to_dc.xsl will also not map names tags if no roleTerm with a type attribute has been specified. The mods_to_dc.xsl is a Library of Congress XSLT and the Islandora community does not make modifications to this file. You are encouraged to make your own edits to the mods_to_dc.xsl if you need to modify the XSLT.
