  • Origins/impetus of the project
  • Feedback from Diane Hillman
  • Decision to retain flat metadata in first incarnation
  • Particular constraints of DSpace data model
  • Work by Richard Rodgers to build mapping tool

    • DOI Datacite in DSpace ?

Question from Stefanie of whether we will ever be able to move to non-flat metadata. Example of dcterms.publisher and need to use URI, as specified in domain and range. If only providing a string, will need to use dc.publisher rather than dcterms.publisher.
