Custom Metadata Schema and Metadata Fields can be added using the Metadata Registry. If you are logged in to your DSpace instance as an administrator you will see the Registries heading in the Administrative panel, under the heading select Metadata. From the metadata registry home can add a new schema by completing the namespace and name.
To add a metadata field to a new schema click on the name space for that schema on the next screen enter the Field Name in the first box, the Qualifier in the second box and information about how to use the field in the Scope Note box. Then click Add new metadata field.
Once the metadata registry has been updated, the new elements are available for applying to collections and items.
The Submission Process consist of up to four parts. The Initial Question, the Input Form, Creative Commons License, and the License.
The Initial Question can be modified, added or removed from the file /dspace/config/item-submission.xml.
The Input Form can be modified from the file /dspace/config/input-forms.xml, see below for more information.
The Creative Commons License can be added or removed form the file /dspace/config/dspace.cfg by changing the line "webui.submit.enable-cc = true" to "true" or "false." Instructions on editing the Creative Commons License step are at Localising the Creative Commons License.
The License step can be modified by adding a license in a collection's metadata or editing the file at local/local/dspace/config/default.license.
Instructions on modifying the input-form can be found at Alter Submission Input Forms.
