Hi, We are not legally allowed to redistribute LCSH with DSpace out-of-the-box. This is why DSpace only supports specific vocabularies by default (like SRSC), as some vocabularies cannot be redistributed within other software.
Currently, as of DSpace 5 or 6, the only way to add new controlled vocabularies is to create a new XML config file to describe that vocabulary. You can see the XML config file for SRSC here (as an example): https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-5_x/dspace/config/controlled-vocabularies/srsc.xml So, the only way to currently support LCSH would be to create such a config file for LCSH. Since we aren't legally allowed to redistribute that with our code, we haven't created one. It's possible someone else created on manually, but I'm unaware of it (but maybe someone else will speak up here if they have). Another option would be to enhance the current DSpace functionality to use Library of Congress's "Linked Data Service". This provides an API to search/select terms from LCSH. http://id.loc.gov/ Again, as far as I'm aware no one has implemented this (though it'd make a great feature to give back to DSpace). - Tim On Wed, Feb 22, 2017 at 12:05 PM Long nam <[email protected]> wrote: > hi All, > > > Currently in our metadata schema, uploaders can input anything they want > in the dc.subject field.
