This functionality is an extension of that provided by Importing and Exporting Items via Simple Archive Format so please read that section before continuing.

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.
