Thanks for the breakdown of possible functions, Helix84. I would be interested in retaining the original METS file because it would contain fields with no functional use in DSpace-- for example, structural metadata or more detailed PREMIS metadata--that would not be imported into DIM. Basically, I'm curious about the possibility of storing (and then exporting) a fuller METS record with an item.
