Andy,
I presume from your note that you are only importing metadata not metadata
and bitstreams.
The metadata import tool is very flexible and very permissive. I believe
you would need to write your own validation routine to enforce required
fields or the format for specific fields. Fortunately, the report that the
metadata import tool presents is informative highlighting exactly what will
change. I presume that the report would flag an invalid item id.
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC4x/Batch+Metadata+Editing#BatchMetadataEditing-TheCSVFiles
We run a fair number of bulk imports (metadata + bitstreams), and we run a
validation to check for the existence of a title and a creation date before
submitting the metadata.
We have had some inconsistency in the way that we tag the language (i.e
"en_US" vs "en") between manual ingest and bulk ingest. This has minimal
impact to the DSpace user interface, but it can be problematic when editing
metadata in bulk.
