I would like to know / have some tips on, how to importing a XML file containing metadata encoded in simple dublin core into a Greenstone library using the command line?

Can this be done? Where can I find information / documentation about this? How should I go about it?

When I have build it I will summarise for the list and may contribute the end result on the Greenstone Wiki.

The objects files (.pdf and .doc) resides on a different server and I would like to have the URL in the dc:resource tag.

I have a setup that can produce a file containing the following XML (Metadata in Dublin Core)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE rdf:RDF>
