Hi, We are currently migrating from DSpace 1.3 to 1.6. We use Digital Author Identifiers within DSpace. The Digital Author Identification (DAI) is a unique national number for every author active within a Dutch university, university of applied sciences or research institute. We want to make it possible to add the DAI or multiple DAIs to the metadata of a record. We are not sure how to solve this: if we add it to a DC identifier element (qualifier to DAI) we do not have the link between the authors name and the DAI, because a record can have multiple names. We could also add another metadata schema to the registry (something like RDF) to add the DAI's, but maybe we make it more complex than it needs to be. So my questions are: - has anybody experience with adding Author Identifiers to DSpace, and if yes: how did you solve it - has anyone implemented RDF in DSpace? Or another new metadata schema that might be useful, and what is your experience with that - if you add a new schema, is this then automagically visible in the DSpace Intermediate Metadata format, or do you need to do something?
PS: I have found the "Universal Author Identifier System" (http://eureka.lib.teithe.gr:8080/handle/10184/96) but this does solve the part of the problem we already solved, and not how to include the identifier in DSpace. regards, Lucas van Schaik Leiden University Library
