Hi Anis, it's quite simple if you have some knowledge of XSLT (even if you don't, it's straightforward for direct metadata field mappings).
1) Find a metadata format that looks the most similar to the one you're trying to create. You can look at them at http://demo.dspace.org/oai/request?verb=ListMetadataFormats 2) Find the corresponding file in [dspace]/config/crosswalks/oai/metadataFormats/ and create a copy under a new name. 3) Add the format into <Context baseurl="request"> in [dspace]/config/crosswalks/oai/xoai.xml 4) Important: for the duration of your development, turn off caching of OAI responses (cache.enabled = false in [dspace]/config/modules/oai.cfg). Otherwise you'd have to run "[dspace]/bin/dspace oai clean-cache" after each change in the xsl. 5) Iterate changing the XSL file as you need and check the results in your browser. You can use "xmllint -noout file.xsl" to check for errors in xml well-formedness of your stylesheer and "xmllint --noout --schema XSD_FILE XML_FILE" (if you have a XSD for your metadata format) to check the validity of your resulting XML.
