Hi All

Any pointers or guide that can help convert existing items, authors, etc. to corresponding entity types activated in 7.x.

thank you all

Hi

(Considering that you have defined entities and relationships)

Converting items is easy. Just add a new metadata  dspace.entity.type   with value Publication (or whatever value you have defined)  to every item (of type publication)  you wish to convert.

Authors...  That  is a complete different  case (and more difficult or tricky).    You need to create an item for each author that you want to define  as entity.  These  "Persons-Items" need to  have a  metadata  dspace.entity.type   with value Person   And instead of using dc.title, dc.contributor.author  etc  (that belongs to dc schema)   you will need to use metadata schema https://schema.org/Person    that contains  person.*   metadata as   person.familyName,   person.givenName, etc

Best luck

Emilio
