Mark,
After some thought about it, I agree. At a minimum, in most cases, throughout
an entire repository, a DC field should map to the same simple name. If someone
wants a different label to appear in an object, chances are that they really
need to use a different DC field for that particular metadata, and that
different DC field should have the correct label assigned to it.
I guess this brings up two additional questions.
First, as we are storing images of College-owned artwork, we would like to note
the artist that created the work. The best apparent DC field to hold this is
dc.creator, but in the DSpace metadata registry for Dublin Core, dc.creator has
the text “Do not use; only for harvested metadata” beside it as a scope note.
Should I really not use this field and should create a new field (maybe
dc.creator.artist) to hold this data? Or should I just ignore the scope note?
For those of you out there storing images of artwork in DSpace, where do you
store the metadata related to the artist? In a particular dc contributor field?
First, in DSpace 1.5.2, is it possible to have a collection that displays
different simple terms than appear in the rest of the collections? For example,
most of our collections contain texts, and the default simple item record
listing like this make sense:
Title
Author
Keywords
Issue Date
Publisher
Etc…
However, for the collection of images of artwork, we would like this collection
to have a simple record listing like:
Title
Artist
Keywords
Date Created
Medium
Materials
Etc…
Importantly, these simple labels will be connected to the correct DC metadata
fields, so I’m no longer looking to use the same metadata field and simply put
a different label on it in different collections. Does DSpace have a method to
allow one collection to display different simple labels than all of the other
collections in that repository?

Stacy,
You should probably be using a different metadata field not a different label.
We encountered requests like this in dsp...@mit for fields like "Advisor" vs.
"Supervisor" vs. "Thesis Advisor"...

I know this is probably an easy one, but I'm having trouble finding an answer
in the DSpace Wiki or 1.5.2 DSpace manual.
I've got a collection in DSpace that is using Dublin Core for metadata, and I
would like to change the way the Simple Item Record displays those values.
Simply put, I would like to change dc.contributor.author to read, in the Simple
Item Record, "Artist" rather than "Author". Note that I only want this change
to occur within one collection, not the entire DSpace repository. Only objects
in that one collection would have this term change displayed.
I seem to remember doing this for DSpace 1.4.2, but I can't find my notes, and
I can't find any instructions on how to do it. Can anyone point me in the right
direction?
Thanks in advance for the help!
