It's on purpose - the summary view has descriptive names, the full view has 
full metadata field names.
a) I suggest you add those fields you want to show to users to summary view. 
Librarians should be fine with the full view.
b) If you want to modify the full item view, you can do so, the changes will be 
a bit more involved.

You can find the labels here:
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-4_x/dspace-xmlui/src/main/webapp/i18n/messages.xml#L2105

a) Add new rows to this summary template; don't forget to read the warning in 
the <xsl:otherwise> branch.
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-4_x/dspace-xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/Mirage/lib/xsl/aspect/artifactbrowser/item-view.xsl#L88

b) Do you changes to the full view template here. You can reuse the existing 
labels from summary view (e.g.
<i18n:text>xmlui.dri2xhtml.METS-1.0.item-abstract</i18n:text>) and add new ones.
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-4_x/dspace-xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/Mirage/lib/xsl/aspect/artifactbrowser/item-view.xsl#L332


Again, you can do these changes either in [dspace-src] or in [dspace].
I suggest you do both and keep them in sync.
