Hi David, DSpace actually does not have METS, PREMIS or MODS integrated into its internal metadata schema. Currently, DSpace only supports simple metadata schemas of the form: [schema].[field].[qualifier] So, by default, DSpace provides a schema called "dc" with many different fields/qualifiers. But, you can also create your own schema with your own custom fields, e.g.:
mylocalschema.myfield.myqualifier However, that being said, DSpace can export/import METS (with both PREMIS and MODS contained in that METS file). But, internally, DSpace does not support storing/updating/creating your metadata in METS/MODS/PREMIS. Instead, when you import a METS document (containing MODS or PREMIS) the metadata always translated (crosswalked) into DSpace's internal metadata format (based on Qualified Dublin Core). A basic example of this is the DSpace 1.7+ "AIP Backup & Restore" functionality. As of 1.7, DSpace can export/import AIP (Archival Information Packages) in order to both backup & restore content within DSpace. These AIPs are actually zip packages which contain a METS document (which itself contains PREMIS and MODS, along with other metadata). DSpace is able to generate (export) these AIPs and also import them. But, when they are imported, DSpace just parses the METS document and translates all metadata back into the internal DSpace metadata schema. Here's some more info on the AIP Backup & Restore functionality: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC/AIP+Backup+and+Restore In addition, here's a description of the METS format used in the AIPs: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC/DSpace+AIP+Format Finally, the you can also just export/import METS files directly (without generating full AIPs) using the command-line Packager Importer/Exporter: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC/System+Administration#SystemAdministration-PackageImporterandExporter I hope this helps to clarify things. Please, let us know if you have further questions (or if I've misunderstood your question)! - Tim On 6/21/2011 1:34 AM, david wrote: > Hi to all community list > > We were wondering if there is a way to integrate MODS schema into dspace > same way as it does with METS or PREMIS. > They are aujtomaticallt generated by dpsace system but we could not find > any related with MODS. > > Any help will be extremely appreciated. > > Thanks in advance. > > Regards > > -- > * > * > * > **David* > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content > authoring tool.
