We are just getting going with ETD's and we've added the thesis.x.x fields as a separate schema called "thesis", along with adding the dc qualifiers that weren't already in the registry. Since it is a different schema I didn't think it would be appropriate to include it in the dc elements - I don't think it's even possible, as you can't have an element and more than one qualifier (at least from my knowledge) in a schema, so dc.thesis.degree.grantor, for example, would be impossible to even enter into the registry.

For those of us using DSpace 1.4+ to store electronic theses and dissertations:

If you're using ETD-MS metadata, how are you managing your DSpace
metadata registry? Are you placing the non-Dublin-Core ETD-MS metadata
(e.g. degree information) inside the Dublin Core schema or in a
separate one? 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?

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!).
