That I don't know. If you are asking, "why didn't DSpace pick up this definition" then the answer is that DSpace doesn't do that. A set of metadata schemas is loaded at installation time. config/registries is not examined at any other time, so far as I know. Several developers discussed making the multiple schema capabilities of DSpace more accessible just this morning. (Morning for dev.s in the US, anyway.) I would expect more activity in this area sometime soon. > - Should I rename etdms.xsd and edit it to conform in syntax to > dublin-core-types.xml? I think those are two different kinds of documents altogether. You would wind up editing away most of the input. An XML Schema defines syntax and integrity rules; a DSpace metadata schema defines only labels. > - Or is there a better way to do this? It looks like ETD-MS defines only four new fields and depends on DC for most of its fields. If it were me, I'd just go into the DSpace schema editor, open "etd", and hand-enter the four new field definitions. A DSpace metadata schema is very simple; the validity rules go into the submission forms. > - And also, how do I associate ETD-MS with a particular item type? Or will > its fields be available for all items? The fields will be available for use with all items. They won't appear on the submission forms until you add them, and you can define separate sets of submission forms for different collections. If you are using XMLUI then you should also be able to customize a theme for your ETD collection(s). -- Mark H.
