Media Metadata Update with CSV Import Issues

Omeka S Modules
1

I have new metadata I’d like to add to existing media files (e.g. rights, titles, creators etc.) via CSV, but I am receiving this error:

The following identifiers are not associated with a resource and were skipped

The settings I was trying were:

  1. CSV import, type = media
  2. Mapping the metadata to the equivalent properties
  3. Advanced settings > Revise > media o:id (from CSV) mapped to Internal ID

I also tried using the item o:id mapped to internal ID, and tried importing as type = item, just to see if anything worked, but nothing did.

I’d appreciate any suggestions!

That message just means that we weren’t able to find the resource given the identifier you gave. Usually it means either a mistake in the sheet or in the mapping process, but from your description it sounds like the right mapping.

Which identifiers did it list after that message? Did they look like they should be valid (i.e., you can go to /admin/media/<that ID> and get to the media’s page)?

Thanks for getting back to me! Yes, the media o:id I was using take me to the media’s page.

Can you share the rest of that log message, the part that lists which identifiers were skipped? It could have helpful information.

I just used one as a test:

},

OK, got it. Can you send two more things:

  1. A screenshot of the admin media page for this media, including the URL bar of the browser.
  2. The CSV file you used.
