DAMS2 contains managed vocabularies ('taxonomies') for some pieces of metadata, to improve the uniformity of metadata across assets. Some of these are open ended, meaning they can be extended as needed during ingest.

During batch ingests, taxonomy terms must be created before the Node metadata that reference a term. When creating metadata, look up terms in the existing taxonomies and reuse terms as appropriate, making sure that the spelling matches exactly. New taxonomy terms must be created before the Node metadata that reference a term. For batch ingests this will be managed as part of the pre-processing of metadata spreadsheets.

Ingest process

The ingest process will be managed by DAMS administrators for the time being. You need to provide a metadata spreadsheet and the files that will be ingested.
