Note: we've added our own XML-Data exchange for importing art work information into the DiVisual® Mapping System. The export format from your collection management database is pretty much straight forward. Please ask an experienced person / database manager to write you a script for exporting the XML Data the correct way.
XML Data needs to be structured like this (italics = field values from your database):
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <export> <imgObject> <title><![CDATA[Badehaus]]></title> <date><![CDATA[1896]]></date> <invno><![CDATA[Urban 189]]></invno> <artist><![CDATA[NOLDE, Emil]]></artist> <material><![CDATA[Ölfarben, Leinwand]]></material> <dimension><![CDATA[820 x 640 x 65 mm.]]></dimension> <technic><![CDATA[Ömalerei]]></technic> <customer><![CDATA[Stiftung Emil und Ada Nolde Seebüll]]></customer> <uid><![CDATA[INV_000000022]]></uid> </imgObject> </export>
Export path (note that the filename needs to match the file name of your DiVisual® map file, file extensin: .xml): Your Hard Drive/Users/User/Divisual Map Files/data/import/
