Hi Kevin, To add or change the OAI-PMH elements in the new DSpace 3.x OAI interface (aka XOAI), you can just modify the proper "crosswalk".
XOAI uses a variety of metadataFormat crosswalks which all exist in: [dspace]/config/crosswalks/oai/metadataFormats/ In this case, it sounds like you just want to add an element to the default "oai_dc" metadata format. To do so, you'd modify the "oai_dc.xsl" in the above folder: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace/config/crosswalks/oai/metadataFormats/oai_dc.xsl In this case, you'd likely want to add a new "<dc:decription>" element into the body of the "<oai_dc:dc>" element (starting on line #22). If you needed to modify any of the other OAI-PMH metadata formats, they all have similar XSLTs in that "metadataFormat/" folder. Some additional information regarding how XOAI uses these various metadataFormat XSLTs is available at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/OAI+2.0+Server Let us know if you have any other questions. - Tim On 2/5/2013 9:49 AM, Kevin Beswick wrote: > Hi, > > We are in the process of upgrading from DSpace 1.8.2 -> 3.0.
