"dc" schema that ships with DSpace [note: check against DSpace 3.0, make any update needed and label/link below for 3.0]			mapping to DCTERMS, the latest recommendation from DCMI				mapping to QDC	these columns may no longer be relevant-- were based on our expectation, in August, that we were mapping everything to QDC		mapping to local
DSpace terms from registry			properties in the official /terms/ namespace from DCMI				Qualified Dublin Core fields from DCMI
ID	Field	Scope Note	relation to DCTERMS properties	Field	syntax-encoding	vocabulary-encoding	2005 QDC user guide	Pure DC Recommendation	Tentative Recommendation	field	rationale	Further information
n/a	n/a		matches	accrualMethod			dc.accrualMethod	dc.accrualMethod	dc.accrualMethod	local.accrualmethod	Amy: While a controlled vocabulary is recommended for this field, this seems like a local practice case to me.	http://dublincore.org/documents/usageguide/elements.shtml#accrualMethod
n/a	n/a		matches	accrualPeriodicity			dc.accrualPeriodicity	dc.accrualPeriodicity	dc.accrualPeriodicity	local.accrualPeriodicity	Amy: The resource may be issued on a regular basis, but the harvesting/addition to the IR may not follow that same schedule. This field should reflect local practice of entry into the IR, not necessarily the practice of the resource.
n/a	n/a		matches	accrualPolicy			dc.accrualPolicy	dc.accrualPolicy	dc.accrualPolicy	local.accrualpolicy	Amy: Policy decisions are very much local.
n/a	n/a		matches	educationLevel			dc.audience.educationLevel	dc.audience.educationLevel	dc.audience.educationLevel	n/a
n/a	n/a		matches	mediator			dc.audience.mediator	dc.audience.mediator	dc.audience.mediator	n/a

3	dc.contributor.author		refines	creator or contributor			dc.contributor	dc.creator	dc.creator	n/a		Miller notes of the role refinements discussed in the above lnks: "But this possibility has not been widely adoped in practice or implemented in most digitial resource content management systems such as CONTENTdm, and the examples are given only in XML ad RDF formats" (81). He notes the option of including the role defining terms as part of the value (e.g., "dc.contributor: Carle, Eric, illustrator").
4	dc.contributor.editor		refines	contributor			dc.contributor	dc.contributor	retain as is; migrate to dc.contributor with roles designated as part of name; migrate to local terms?	local.contributor.editor?

n/a	n/a		matches	valid			dc.date.valid	dc.date.valid	?	local.date.accessioned?		Unclear what the use case is for this element in Dspace. [Amy: Could someone make a case for using this field to indicate a superseded resource\?]
