From doing (real, live) publisher to repository deposits - and from discussions in the DSpace community about what we want to be able to do with our repositories - Dublin Core or even SWAP simply doesn't cut it. As a publisher, we have more metadata available that we would want to pass to the repositories, which they have told us they want to take, and is needed to properly support export functionality from the repository that is desired.
