How do you want to access the metadata? Through SQL or in some XSLT theme code?
Assuming, want to do this in XMLUI theme code, here is the process. - Item: http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui///handle/10673/3 - Look at the XML for this document: http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/handle/10673/3?XML - The url to the collection metadata is here - <xsl:variable name="collurl" select="//dri:referenceSet[@n='collection-viewer']//dri:reference[@type='DSpace Collection']/@url"/> - If you view source on the following URL, you will see the metadata: http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui//metadata/handle/10673/2/mets.xml - You can use the cocoon protocol to retrieve the metadata for the collection - <xsl:variable name="collmeta" select="document(concat('cocoon:', $collurl))"/> There may be a bug in the code above, but this is the general approach to follow.
