Simon, CONTENTdm in our case needs a tab delimited file with the following fields (with the xmp tag in parenthesis): title (<XMP-dc:Title>), date, collection / source (<XMP-photoshop:Source>), description (<XMP-dc:Description>), rights (<XMP-dc:Rights>), subject, creator (<XMP-dc:Creator>), contributors, notes, filename (<System:FileName>). For those that I do not have XMP tags for I know that I won't be pulling that information out of the image metadata. In our case the image description is being entered by technitians directly "into" the image file using Adobe Bridge so I'm fairly confident that we'll be able to pull back out what we need. If you know people at NIST I'd be happy to expand my contact list here on campus! :) Thanks for all the help, Andrea _______________________________________________________________________________ Andrea Medina-Smith Metadata Librarian NIST Gaithersburg [log in to unmask] 301-975-2592 Be Green!

I'm not sure if XSLT is particularly well suited to anything, but it ought to be possible to cruft something up. I would still recommend following Owen's suggestion of using an RDF toolkit of some kind to take hide the details of any sequences etc. I can point you at a few people at NIST who might be able to give some advice. What does ContentMFDM expect in it's tab separated files?
