I managed to import my first metadata structure (for unstructured data), to create a new dataset and to upload the first data! As far as I can see, this procedure should allow us to transfer the unstructured data in our collection to the BExIS 2 system. What work this involves and to what degree this can be automated is still open and touches upon Thorsten's work. Along the way I came across a series of questions that I append below. All the best Thomas Here are the remarks: Problems with BExIS2 Metadata management 1. Choosing a file on your own computer is somewhat unintuitive. The name of the file appears outside the focus of attention in the upper right corner of the window. 2. First I received the message “Unable to cast object of type 'System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaElement' to type 'System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaGroup'.” which I don’t understand. I changed some to which allowed the upload, but the issue still remains mysterious. 3. On the “Read Source” there is a field for “Root node” which is not explained and probably not needed. 4. On the page “Set Parameters” there is a “Selection” element, which offers only a single choice (“BExIS.Dlm.Entities.Data.Dataset”: What does that mean?) when starting. When leaving it blank and selecting title and description fields, there is a message “Please select the missing field”. But there is no available choice anymore. 5. It is not quite clear, which options are offered for title and description. It seems that is not evaluated here. 6. In the Help sections, images RPM/Images/RPM_UserGuide_files_images/Main_Menu_1.jpg RPM/Images/RPM_UserGuide_files_images/Main_Menu_2.jpg RPM/Images/RPM_UserGuide_files_images/Create-Datastructure.jpg RPM/Images/RPM_UserGuide_files_images/Datastructure-Edit.jpg RPM_UserGuide_files_images/Datastructure-copy.jpg are missing. 7. Minor Problem with UTF-8 on help page “5. Data Structure Manager”: …only one Data Attribute ‘Count’ is needed to build a Data Structure 8. Why are there two entries “Manage Units“: One under “Plan” and one in the administrative menu? Are these different? 9. On the page “Create Dataset“ I cannot change the name “New Dataset” when creating a new set. 10. When a Data Structure is created, there seems to be no way to modify it, e.g. changing a field from “required” to “optional”. Roman wrote “All fields are indicated as required fields. This is just because we use a different way of defining required fields in the XSD. Not a big deal, just needs someone to go through and change the definition.” The only way to achieve this seems to be by creating a new version of the data structure, uploading it and removing the earlier version. Is this the intended procedure? 11. If I choose “Edit metadata structure”, the window appearing has some question marks which don’t seem to have any effect, -------------- nächster Teil -------------- Ein Dateianhang mit Binärdaten wurde abgetrennt...
