At VUW we have created a separate schema to cover the ETD-MS fields which can't really be expressed in DC (at least without a degree of articulation which isn't possible within DSpace's essentially "flat" metadata model) We have used this URI for the schema's namespace: http://www.ndltd.org/standards/metadata/current.html The schema contains: thesis.degree.discipline thesis.degree.grantor thesis.degree.level thesis.degree.name > If you use a separate one, are you putting the Dublin > Core metadata used in ETD-MS inside the new schema, or are you mixing > schemas on your ingest and display pages? We are mixing schemas. We have retained the dc schema and actually added 2 others: one for ETD-MS, and another for all our purely local requirements. e.g. http://researcharchive.vuw.ac.nz/handle/10063/14?mode=full > I'm about to go change my metadata registry to make ETD-MS work as > part of the Manakin-based redesign I'm working on, and I'd like to do > it in accord with best practices (or at least experience!). > > Dorothea Probably it would be a good idea to write up our experience as a topic for the DSpace wiki. -- Conal Tuohy New Zealand Electronic Text Centre www.nzetc.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
