That can certainly be done. I've taken a database of 5-6000 entries (and I'm going to be working on another of 15000). Because what was required is more of a catalogue than a digital library, I created a folder for each entry and in that folder I had two files, one that displays the catalogue details for the end user and a metdata.xml file for Greenstone. The librarian is also able to add files to the folder to have a more digital library look. The metadata.xml fiel can use any metadata, I started with a combination of DC and DLS, but have now switched to rfc1807 graeme.

In other words, is it possible to take a set (doesn't happen to be DC, it's idiosyncractic but a system nevertheless) of metadata and transfer it across to a Greenstone collection somehow? I am trying to offer someone a way forward, but if it meant we had to retype all the metadata then he may baulk at the idea, understandably.
