Update DublinCore Registry to Implement lates DC Standards
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: DS-433
URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-433
Project: DSpace 1.x
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: DSpace API
Reporter: Jeffrey Trimble
DSpace's current implementation of Dublin Core was a subset or simplified
version of the Dublin Core standard created by OCLC. Since the first release
of DSpace, Dublin Core has undergone major revisions. DC version 1.1 was
implemented in 2007 with 15 base elements a subset of the larger DCMI. Users
current are misusing the DC standards due to the age of the current element set
and the descriptions contained therein.
I recommend that the DSpace Developers look at using the full implementation of
DCMI for the next major release after 1.6. Additionally tools will need to be
provided
for conversion of existing DC Metadata Schema.
Also, it would be advantageous to build into the software a validation of DC
elements in a stricter sense than is now being used.
