             Summary: In OAI-PMH "Identify" response, the <description> is no 
longer configurable
                 Key: DS-1479
                 URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1479
             Project: DSpace
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: OAI-PMH
    Affects Versions: 3.1, 3.0
            Reporter: Tim Donohue
            Assignee: João Melo


The OAI-PMH "identify" response (e.g. 
http://demo.dspace.org/oai/request?verb=Identify) returns a hardcoded 
<description> which says "XOAI: OAI-PMH Java Toolkit        ".  In the old 
OAI-PMH interface (DSpace 1.8 and previous), this description was configurable.

There are some use cases where this description tag may need to either be 
configurable, or allow for additional <description> elements to be added 
(according to OAI-PMH, multiple <description> elements are allowed: 
http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/openarchivesprotocol.html#Identify).   An 
example use case is described in this thread on dspace-tech:
http://dspace.2283337.n4.nabble.com/Modify-Add-additional-OAI-Identify-Description-elements-td4661833.html

The hardcoded <description> value seems to be coming from Lyncode XOAI 
codebase, so I've assigned this to João Melo from Lyncode.  Here's the place 
where the value is hardcoded:
