Greetings, We are just starting to work with DSpace, so our understanding is very basic right now.
I notice the input form writes author data to dc.contributor.author. I have read some of the history about this choice for DSpace (changing recommendations, issues determining who is the author, etc.). Questions: 1. If our IR is just starting up, would it be a good idea to alter input-forms.xml to send "author" data to dc.creator and maybe set up another input field for dc.contributors? 2. Would this be the start of a lot of java-level (vs. javascript-level) changes, such as the data view screens like browse author and the initial view of the record display? 3. Would such a change cause problems with metadata harvesters such as OAISTER (OAISTER seems to work fine mapping from dc.contributor.author right now)? 4. Does Manakin address question #2 by making it easy to select dc.creator for browse data views?
