Ricardo,

Yes, you just need to store the metadata as datastreams on the Fedora 
object. Our approach has been to use a separate datastream for each 
metadata type/schema: MODS, MIX, LOM, Darwin Core, etc. We have a 
dissemination for the object that wraps all of those metadata 
packages together into a single METS file, with a METS <dmdSec> for 
each descriptive metadata datastream.

Although we have yet not implemented the OAI service on our Fedora 
repository, our plan is to use our MODS data as the basis for OAI-PMH 
rather than the DC datastream, transforming MODS to unqualified DC 
along the way. That way, we don't have to worry about synchronizing 
separate MODS and DC versions of the same metadata.
