Hi Helix, ok dc.contributor.author was a bad example. In this case we have a UUID that is unique and i can import it in a field named dc.identifier.uuid. So how can i modify DSpace to allow multiple identifier?
I asked this because i had only this idea to get the record i need. Maybe if i explain to you what i'd like to do, you have an other idea i don't thought about. I'd like to get the meta data record from a system/website that knows nothing from the handles in DSpace. But the systems knows the UUID! So if i maintain the UUID in DSpace as dc.identifier.uuid too both systems know about the UUID and can match the entries.
