Hi David,
DSpace actually does not have METS, PREMIS or MODS integrated into its
internal metadata schema. Currently, DSpace only supports simple
metadata schemas of the form: [schema].[field].[qualifier] So, by
default, DSpace provides a schema called dc with many different
fields/qualifiers. But, you can also create your own schema with your
own custom fields, e.g.:
mylocalschema.myfield.myqualifier
However, that being said, DSpace can export/import METS (with both
PREMIS and MODS contained in that METS file). But, internally, DSpace
does not support storing/updating/creating your metadata in
METS/MODS/PREMIS. Instead, when you import a METS document (containing
MODS or PREMIS) the metadata always translated (crosswalked) into
DSpace's internal metadata format (based on Qualified Dublin Core).
A basic example of this is the DSpace 1.7+ AIP Backup Restore
functionality. As of 1.7, DSpace can export/import AIP (Archival
Information Packages) in order to both backup restore content within
DSpace. These AIPs are actually zip packages which contain a METS
document (which itself contains PREMIS and MODS, along with other
metadata). DSpace is able to generate (export) these AIPs and also
import them. But, when they are imported, DSpace just parses the METS
document and translates all metadata back into the internal DSpace
metadata schema.
Here's some more info on the AIP Backup Restore functionality:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC/AIP+Backup+and+Restore
In addition, here's a description of the METS format used in the AIPs:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC/DSpace+AIP+Format
Finally, the you can also just export/import METS files directly
(without generating full AIPs) using the command-line Packager
Importer/Exporter:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC/System+Administration#SystemAdministration-PackageImporterandExporter
I hope this helps to clarify things. Please, let us know if you have
further questions (or if I've misunderstood your question)!

Hi to all community list
We were wondering if there is a way to integrate MODS schema into dspace
same way as it does with METS or PREMIS.
They are aujtomaticallt generated by dpsace system but we could not find
any related with MODS.
Any help will be extremely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
