Contribute to the DSpace Development Fund
The newly established DSpace Development Fund supports the development of new features prioritized by DSpace Governance. For a list of planned features see the fund wiki page.
This is a summary page of the metadata projects/priorities identified by the October 2011 community survey on improving metadata support authored by the DSpace Community Advisory Team at the request of the DSpace Committers/Developers . DCAT has summarized and interpreted the information gathered from the survey estimated level of effort required. DSpace community members should feel free to add more detailed explanation/examples to further flesh out the changes/requirements they would like to see. It is recommended that a community project team be formed around this work.
- Updating the Qualified Dublin Core registry in DSpace to the latest standards of the DCMI

- Moving metadata related configurations from dspace.cfg to the database
- Develop support for additional metadata standards (use the "Other" field to specify which standards)
