Dear Jason, we at stadtteilgeschichten.net intend to use Drupal as a layer not only for the presentation of our DSpace collections but as a tool of user participation in metadata enrichment while retaining DSpace for its well developed ingest, store and search/browse functionalities.
Therefore, we do not just need the capability of OAI-PMH export (like J-CAR or Islandora) but a possibility to re-import the metadata into DSpace which users are expected to add via Drupal. Perhaps the Drupal Data module <http://drupal.org/project/data> could do the trick. For some background information on our approach you might have a look at my presentation at the DSUG Meeting 2009 in Gothenburg <http://hdl.handle.net/2077/21375>. We hope to achieve our task within this year, but would be more than happy to have you at our side for support and exchange.
