[Dspace-general] what is your metadata workflow?

[Platt, Alice]

Hello,

I'm curious to find out how other DSpace members are managing their workflow. We are considering not using the built-in DSpace workflow (for various reasons I will not detail here). The thinking is that we will batch import groups of items instead of doing one at a time.

We have students who can write the basic metadata, and a digital content specialist who writes the more complex metadata such as abstract/keyword information.

I would like to know if anyone else has a similar situation where two or more people are writing metadata without using the DSpace workflow - and if you are in that situation, can you describe your workflow to me? I'm trying to figure out the best arrangement.

Thanks in advance!
