Hi Michael,

I've attached an example .csv file for assigning metadata to two
documents in the Greenstone Demo collection. The first line contains the
metadata element names, and subsequent lines contain the metadata values.

The Filename value specifies which file to assign the metadata to. In
your case you don't have any files -- it's all metadata. The solution in
this case is to create dummy (empty) .nul files, one per record, and use
the name of these files for the Filename value. You will need both
"plugin CSVPlug" and "plugin NULPlug" in your collection configuration.

Hope this helps,

Michael
