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.

Title (Goal)Structure - Metadata for all levels of object hierarchy (e.g. for Communities and Collections)
Primary ActorEnd User
Scope 
Level 
Story (A paragraph or two describing what happens)

Users should be able to manage metadata descriptions related to any DSpaceObject.

It should be possible to assign a "Profile" or "Template" that defined Metadata field, type, requirement, syntax, authority control. This support should operate independent of mechanism of deposit (submission, sword deposit, item import).

    This basic functionality now exists as of DSpace 5 (at least it's supported in the database layer and API). However more user interfaces and use cases around adding metadata to other object types may need closer analysis and implementation.

    Another related use case: Structure - Describe Individual Bitstream within an Item
