Thanks for links, everyone!
James - this'd definitely be useful from our point of view. At the moment
we're agnostic in our CSV ingestion (we bring in the fields that are
represented). The only thing we need is a unique ID, normally accession
number, in the first column and a title in the second - and that can be
munged with a bit of Excel wrangling if we need to.
But - in order to build something approaching a "plug n play" type solution
for simple collections, we would like to give users the option to map
fields to some kind of common schema.
I'm a bear of simple brain, and right now, the schema we're working to is
the basic DC fields. But I'd love to hear thoughts.
The danger as ever of course with any metadata conversation is that
perfection is the enemy of the good...
Mike
