A useful tutorial on how to create a new form is here:  Metadata and XML Forms, Donal Moses (UPEI), presented at Islandora Camp NY, November 20, 2013, available at http://islandora.ca/sites/default/files/Metadata%20XMLForms%20Islandora%20Camp%20NY%202013.pdf .  This tutorial steps through the process of building a simple Dublin Core form, and includes screenshots of each step.

Introduction

The XML Forms Form Builder allows you to create and manipulate XML form templates and associate them with content models. This allows you to create custom forms to address the needs of your particular collection, or to pre-populate repeating fields. For example, if a collection of PDFs was all written by the same author, you may wish to create a custom form for this collection that has the author’s name pre-populated, so that users ingesting into this collection will not need to re-enter this information. Using custom forms you can also specify which metadata elements you wish to use to describe your object, and create validation rules for particular fields, among other features.
