This was a priority identifed by the October 2011 community survey on improving metadata support developed by the DSpace Community Advisory Team at the request of the DSpace Committers/Developers. DCAT has summarized and interpreted the survey results and listed the community priorities below based the 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. 

Project Description

  • Qualified Dublin Core registry in DSpace has not been updated for 8 years. Standardization would help compatibility with other systems and benefit from information gathered by the DCMI community (related links:https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-805 https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-433).
  • need consensus/guidance from metadata experts in the community on specifically how/what to update and which version of the DCMI standard should be used
  • need to link to the relevant schema on DC website and lock down (allow adds, but not changes)
  • isolate where local customizations are done  
  • Initial look at the requirements

Estimated Effort Level Required

LEVEL OF COMMUNITY EFFORT: likely low to medium

LEVEL OF DEVELOPER EFFORT: likely low to medium
