Many sites have done this.  We should not have.  Dublin Core is
defined by DCMI and the rest of us shouldn't be changing it.

No, that is what *should* be done when a site needs to extend the
metadata model.  But it is a bit more work.

You need to create a new metadata namespace.  (DSpace calls this a
"schema", but this use of the term is disputed.)  On the page listing
metadata namespaces you'll need to "Add a new schema".  Your local
schema will need a unique namespace URI, but it does not need to
resolve to any document.  You can use "cg" for the name.  Once this is
completed, your new namespace should appear above in the metadata
registry.  Select it as you would "dc" and define the fields you need.
