Abstract
Whilst, storing intellectual content digitally has become a very important every day aspect of our lives, many people wish for a more effective and efficient way to manage this process. This paper looks at an example of this at UCT, creating a tool which improves the workflow of uploading digital assets into an intellectual repository. This tool allows users to input metadata in the simplest form (a spreadsheet), and converts it to individual XML files for each record. The spreadsheet is designed to make the entering of the data easier and the converter application successfully creates metadata files that can be ingested into DSpace (an example of an intellectual repository).
