[Metadatalibrarians] tools for massaging metadata

[Schwartz, Christine]

Hi Regina,

I've been using File Renamer (http://www.filerenamer.net/) for renaming
files. 

Also, MarcEdit is a great tool (http://bit.ly/euOax).

I use FastStone Image Viewer for some digital image manipulation
(http://www.faststone.org/) as well as Photoshop (but I'm a Photoshop
newbie).

I also use an XML batch validator that's very handy
(http://sunsite3.berkeley.edu/ead/tools/schema_validate/).

Hope these help. Most of the metadata manipulation I do is via
programming with XQuery using Mark Logic imperative functions.

Chris
