How to import bitstreams without handle to dspace?

We assume that I want to insert into my DSpace a CD with several files of publications in various formats without handle.

For example:

Mp4 Text Mp3 Pdf Jpeg

How to do this in large scale?

Solution

  • The DSpace Simple Archive Format will allow you to build item ingest folders on your server and import those folders as items in DSpace. A handle will be assigned on import.

    The following page documents the way that we have used this Simple Archive Format to automate ingest into our repository.
