Hi Sean, I'm not an expert on the embargo system, but I think you could do the following:
Embargos are 'set' and 'lifted'. The business logic for these are implemented in java classes such as: - org.dspace.embargo.DefaultEmbargoSetter - org.dspace.embargo.DefaultEmbargoLifter In the setter, you could edit the object to add another metadata field with details of the embargo in a human-consumable way. This metadata element could then be displayed on the item view pages. The lifter could be edited to either remove that metadata field, or edit it instead to say it was under an embargo but is no more. Like with lots of things in DSpace, there are probably many ways of achieving this.
