Java app for aiding creation of entries in the Filk Book Index.
As of October 20, 2014, this project contains the data files of the Filk Book Index itself. Hopefully the two locations will remain more or less in sync. Contributors can make changes here, and anyone can grab a copy of the repository here.

The Filk Book Index (http://www.massfilc.org/filkindex/) is a collection of MODS XML files with information on books of filk songs. The MODS format is complicated to create, so this application allows conversion of CSV files to XML. Some hand tweaking will generally be necessary, but this lets contributors who aren't fluent in the MODS schema create spreadsheets with information to convert. The main page of the filk book index has links to spreadsheet templates in Excel and OpenDocument formats.
The application will run in the command line, with the arguments being the input and output files.
