Good afternoon, We're currently working with a new QDC crosswalk to allow OCLC to harvest that format. They expect a different structure than is provided by DSpace's default QDC crosswalk. I believe their default format is oai_dc, but they have the option of choosing QDC or other formats.
When we're able to get OCLC to successfully harvest our QDC, we planned to see if the community would find it useful.

While working on these updates, it came to our attention that some of the metadata formats in the DSpace OAI module are out of date. For example, links to both the namespace (http://www.dspace.org/xmlns/dspace/dim) and schema (http://www.dspace.org/schema/dim.xsd) of the DSpace Intermediate Metadata (DIM) format are apparently dead; meanwhile, the schemas for MODS and ETDMS have (relatively) recently been updated to 3.5 and 1.1, respectively, but the OAI links to previous versions of the two. It would be great to have the latest schema versions available for updating OAI crosswalking; however, we are hesitant to make local changes, as the OAI webapp is currently being upgraded for the next DSpace software version and its xoai file still references the previous schemas and dead links. Does anyone know if there has been any discussion about updating the metadata versions/links in the OAI webapp before the next update? Thanks!
