"Batch ingest: (Note: the “migrate_islandora_csv” module was not installed on our test site, and we did not attempt to install it or test it for batch ingest.) It does not appear that there are Drush commands that will aid in batch ingesting on the command line. Workbench is a tool similar to Islandora Multi-Importer and appears to be a good option, but it is an extension, and it was not straightforward to get it installed or working properly on the default site. We found that Workbench does not set audio and video files as a “service file,” which prevents derivatives from being generated and displayed on the node (metadata page). In addition, there does not appear to be a way to batch ingest taxonomy lists, which is problematic since terms must be in the taxonomy list before you can add them via the metadata webform. In theory, there should be a way to batch import taxonomies using Workbench."
