You need to add new terms to the metadata registry using the dspace-admin
function, and then add those new terms to input-forms.xml to make them appear
on the html forms. That bit is fairly easy and is a typical thing that a Dspace
admin would do, the more messy part is that there is not any widely recognised
metadata schema that will allow you to store this information, at least not in
the context of Dspace. I think that most people with a similar requirement make
up their own terms and possibly schema eg. mine:volume, mine:issue, etc. The
next tricky bit is that the Dspace submission process is not 'type' based so
how do you request the appropriate information dependant on type ? You can
either just not think about type and always ask the user for all citation data
even when not appropriate (eg volume/issue for a book?), or you can split your
collections by type as input-forms.xml allows you to define different forms for
different collections.

Subject: [Dspace-tech] Citation format
Hi all
In order to have the proper citation format for different
types of documents, eg. journals, books, book chapters, etc,
I need to have fields where I can enter things like Journal
Name (not publisher), Volume number, Part number, Pagination
(eg. pg142 - pg163), etc.
I don't know how to do this. Is there a standard set of
submission pages with these fields already available? If not,
where can I create such forms and how do I create the link
from the form to specific fields in the database?
Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.
I'm using DSpace 1.4.2 with PostgreSQL 8.1 on Windows Server 2003.
Many thanks in advance
