Hi Edward, That should be easy enough. The XML is more or less flat. A simple XSLT stylesheet should suffice in this case. A tricky part might be with repeatable elements. You may have to concatenate repeatable elements like <subjects> into a single string separated by a pipe '|' or something. I'm not familiar enough with ContentDM's import methods to know for certain.
