Re: [EP-underground] Entering metadata in bulk

This is possible. Have a look at "import_eprints" in the bin
directory. To get an idea of the format, do:

/opt/eprints2/bin/export_xml SITEID archive

(archive being the bit where live eprints are kept)

This does not import full texts.

You may wish to import into "buffer" or "inbox" instead if you don't
want items to appear on the web at once.

You may wish to modify import_eprints. If you do I recommend copying
it and working on the copy.
