Importing Items via basic bibliographic formats (Endnote, BibTex, RIS, TSV, CSV)

This functionality is an extension of that provided by Importing and Exporting Items via Simple Archive Format so please read that section before continuing. It is underpinned by the Biblio Transformation Engine (http://code.google.com/p/biblio-transformation-engine/).

In the import script, there is a new option (-b) to import using the Biblio Transformation Engine and an option -i to declare the type of the input format. All the other options are the same. Option -s points to a file (and not a directory as it used to) that is the file of the input data.

Thus, to import metadata from the various input format use the following commands:

for BibTex input: ./dspace import -b -m mapFile -e example@email.com -c 123456789/1 -s /DATA/export-bibtex -i bibtex
for csv input: ./dspace import -b -m mapFile -e example@email.com -c 123456789/1 -s /DATA/export-csv -i csv
for tsv input: ./dspace import -b -m mapFile -e example@email.com -c 123456789/1 -s /DATA/export-tsv -i tsv
for ris input: ./dspace import -b -m mapFile -e example@email.com -c 123456789/1 -s /DATA/export-ris -i ris
for endnote input: ./dspace import -b -m mapFile -e example@email.com -c 123456789/1 -s /DATA/export-endnote -i endnote

(-e must be a valid email of a DSpace user and -c must be the collection handle the items will be imported)

Before you run the commands, feel free to change the configuration files (config/spring-bibtex2dspace.xml, config/spring-csv2dspace.xml, config/spring-tsv2dspace.xml, config/spring-ris2dspace.xml, config/spring-endnote2dspace.xml) in order to specify the mapping of the input format to the DC metadata schema of DSpace.
