Hi Gary, It sounds like you have two options:
- Get the ADT people to define their own metadataPrefix. This is what the EThOS project (http://ethos.bl.uk/) did for the UK EDT system. They defined uketd_dc which is now shipped as standard with DSpace. See: http://ethostoolkit.cranfield.ac.uk/tiki-index.php?page_ref_id=69 - If however ADT want to use oai_dc, and this is different to your default oai_dc, then there is no way to support this using a single DSpace OAI-PMH installation. What you could do instead is to deploy the dspace-oai webapp multiple times, with each one pointing at a different oaicat.properties (but the same dspace.cfg). So you could deploy a second one dspace-oai-adt which is configured differently but points to the same actual DSpace instance.
