Robin Taylor commented on DS-922:
---------------------------------
I've done a bit more digging. The REST Api is built on
http://code.google.com/p/entitybus/. Following the conventions used so far we
would add a new Entity called MetadataEntity (effectively a pojo) with members
of schema, element (possibly qualifier), and value. The entitybus libraries
take care of serializing those objects into xml or json. The resulting XML
would look like ...
<metadata>
<schema>blah</schema>
<element>bloh</element>
<qualifier>bluh</qualifier>
<value>some text</value>
</metadata>
We don't really have the option of specifying DC or anything else since the
code that builds the XML is buried in the entitybus libraries.
Not too sure where that leaves us.

> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: REST API (experimental)
> Reporter: Robin Taylor
>
> Class ItemEntity calls XHTMLHeadDisseminationCrosswalk to create the metadata
> XML. This crosswalk was written to add the metadata as a String in the <head>
> section of an html page and is probably not the correct crosswalk to use for
> the REST API. Below is a cut and pasted chunk from a REST API query which
> shows the metadata as a string containing escape characters.
> <metadata><link rel="schema.DCTERMS" href="http://purl.org/dc/terms/";
> /><link rel="schema.DC" href="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
> /><meta name="DC.creator" content="dfgdgd, dfgdf"
> We need to decide on a suitable format for exposing the metadata. Should we
> default to DC ? How should this then be exposed if the request specifies Json
> ?
