It's not very clean, but it gives them what they need. Yes, you can, providing that the schema is no more complex than key-value pairs will accommodate (that is, no hierarchy as in most XML). In that case, you first need to set up the lido fields in DSpace's metadata registry (see <http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Add_a_new_metadata_field>); you'll presumably use the schema name "lido". Then you make a batch import package with the DC metadata in the usual dublin_core.xml file, and the lido metadata in a separate file named "metadata_lido.xml" with the root element <dublin_core schema="lido">. Then you batch-import as normal. I can send you a sample ETD import package out-of-band if that will help; it's easier to figure this out from an example than to explain it! > 2) The cleaner solution would be to do some kind of mapping in the oai webapp > to copy the dc fields to corresponding lido fields.

No, not unusual at all. Hope this helps.
