Hi George,

here an addition. Some metadata fields are critical because alls
DSpace-Objects have metadata, i.e. Communities and Collections, too.
Especially fields like dc.title are also used for Communities and
Collections metadata.

Best regards,
Paul

Hi George,

I don't know if there is a DSpace tool but every metadata to
dspace-object relation is hold in database. So a SQL query is all you need.
You only have to know the "metadata_field_id". This is stored in the
"metadatafieldregistry" table. Either you looking in the Admin UI for
metadata-registry or you use a SQL-Query like this: "SELECT
metadata_field_id FROM metadatafieldregistry WHERE element='title' AND
qualifier='alternative';" (= field_id 71).
With this ID you can query the "metadatavalue" table, e.g. "SELECT
COUNT(*) FROM metadatavalue WHERE metadata_field_id = 71;"

Best regards,
Paul
