Hi Kate,

It depends on your repository. For example with DSpace you need to edit the
crosswalk file at [dspace]/config/crosswalks/sword-swap-ingest.xsl
With the SWORD v2 project, the PHP library is being given a makeover. This
problem is partially helped with the addition of a new 'addMetadata(element,
value)' function, however the class still needs a bit of work to know exactly
how to represent each element based on SWAP.
SWORD v2 is also introducing a new standardized and simple packaging format
(multipart + atom), where all metadata is expressed using dcterms, so adding
metadata simply becomes:
$test_packager->addMetadata("creator", "Lewis, Stuart");
$test_packager->addMetadata("identifier", "10.1108/00330330910998057");
$test_packager->addMetadata("publisher", "Emerald");
