Hello, This has been discussed on the list previously, but it has been quite a while and I wondered if this has actually been done.
In the default metadata schema that ships with DSpace, the dc.creator element is marked with a scope note as "Do not use; only for harvested metadata", while the default item submission input form requires that a value be entered into the dc.contributor.author field. The author browse index is based, by default, on dc.contributor.author. I'd like to change an installation to require dc.creator rather than dc.contributor.author in the input form, and to configure it to build the author search index on dc.creator rather than dc.contributor.author. When this was discussed previously, the consensus seemed to be that the default schema was based on an early draft of Dublin Core, and that making these changes should cause no problems. Is this still the case? Has anyone done this, and have there been any issues? Also, is it true that an upcoming version of DSpace will allow the author browse to use an index based on both the creator and the contributor elements? Thank you, Keith Gilbertson Systems Developer OhioLINK ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
