1. (Optionally) Configure your entity model : DSpace provides two default entity models defined in [dspace]/config/entities/relationship-types.xml. These models may be used as-is, or modified.  You can also design your own model from scratch (see "Designing your own model" below).  So, feel free to start by modifying relationship-types.xml, or creating your own model based on the relationship-types.dtd.

2. Import that model into the DSpace database: To enable that defined model, you must import it into DSpace.  This is achieved by using the "initialize-entities" script:

   Code Block
   # The -f command requires a full path to an Entities model configuration file. [dspace]/bin/dspace initialize-entities -f [dspace]/config/entities/relationship-types.xml

   1. If an Entity (of same type name) already exists, it will be updated with any new relationships defined in relationship-types.xml
   2. If an Entity (of same type name) doesn't exist, the new Entity type will be created along with its relationships defined in relationship-types.xml
