Hello, I am using DSpace 7.5. I would like to know from your experience, what is the best approach to use metadata that don't fit exactly on DC schema.
Let's say I want to use the following four metadata to describe an artifact. 1. Height (number) 2. Width (number) 3. Depth (number) 4. Arrangement [ horizontal, vertical] Those four according to DC Schema should be put in the element Format.Extent but this is one field and the user should have to submit something like "3x4x5xvertical" . I don't find this to beuser friendly. I want to have 4 different fields. As far as I can see I have 3 alternatives. (Please let me know I there are other options). 1. Extend Dublin core metadata with four extra elements like that: a. Format. Extent.Height b. Format. Extent.Width c. Format. Extent.Depth d. Format. Extent.Arrangement. 2. Add one more schema let's say schema.org.Product and use it's elements in combination with a custom element like that: 1. Product. Height 2. Product. Width 3. Product. Depth 4. Local. Arrangement (This is a total custom element. I could not find a schema that has such an element) 3. Use RDF to describe my metadata by linking them to a schema let's say schema.org.product So which one consider to be the best approach? On the 3rd option, do I also have to add my metadata to the DSpace metadata registry or is it enough to declare them as linked data only?
