I asked Google for "museum metadata standards" and got many hits that
may be useful.  If one or more seem appropriate, you might ask here
whether anyone has already written their "schemas" for DSpace and
would be willing to share.

If nothing has been written for a standard that you wish to implement,
then you'll need to write a "schema" for it.  This is a simple XML
document that defines a name space and names within it.

You should read
https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Metadata+Recommendations
and become familiar with metadata support in DSpace.  But it seems
that at this time the format of a DSpace metadata schema is documented
only in the existing schema documents.  See
'dspace/config/registries/dublin-core-types.xml' for an example.

When you have created a new schema, it must be added to the values of
the configuration property 'registry.metadata.load'.  Then use the
registry loader tool ('bin/dspace registry-loader -metadata
registry-file.xml') to install the new schema in the database.

DSpace can operate on flat or two-level hierarchial name spaces.
