Will definitely need to maintain DC alongside DCTERMS. Question of whether to keep legacy qualified DC or to migrate to local. Ability to crosswalk dc.title to dcterms.title, not absolutely a requirement to migrate to that element in DSpace metadata.
Mission for DSpace 5: Death to the Qualifiers.
RIOXX using DCTERMS for what DSpace currently relies on QDC for; uses DC where DSpace uses DC.
Additional Potential of additional schema to ship with DSpace: RIOXX, ETD schema.
Next Steps
1) Highest priority is to examine qualified fields-- we will start migration with this set.
Example: dc.contributor.advisor–> uketd:advisor ? Going beyond DC, DCTERMS, local, DSpace. Keeping an eye on developments around ETD and research data schema.
2) Have DSpace metadata proposal formalized for Open Repositories, deadline of February 1. Also Dublin Core 2014.
3) Non-intrusive approach to modifying hard-coded metadata values via JIRA tickets
