Packages exported from DSpace preserve existing handles and include extraneous nodes added to the DSpace-DC metadata. The DSpace installation includes a tool for cleaning the metadata and eliminating existing handles. However, it requires a BASH shell that is not available on a standard Windows installation.
Therefore, I've written a script to perform the same functions, called "dspace_migrate_windows.wsf", which is available at attachment:dspace_migrate_windows.wsf. Our group will probably be using this tool repeatedly as collections are migrated from DSpace to other repositories.
Dependencies:
- Microsoft Scripting Runtime
- Windows Scripting Host
The original BASH shell script is available at http://wiki.dspace.org/TechnicalFaq#head-afc2cd87f105a3a7924cc03d633ffcc763046358
