Wiki MarkupThe {{dublin_core.xml}} or {{metadata_\[prefix\].xml}} file has the following format, where each metadata element has it's own entry within a {{<dcvalue>}} tagset. There are currently three tag attributes available in the {{<dcvalue>}} tagset:

<element> - the Dublin Core element
<qualifier> - the element's qualifier

<language> - (optional)ISO language code for element

Code Block

<dublin_core>
    <dcvalue element="title" qualifier="none">A Tale of Two Cities</dcvalue>
    <dcvalue element="date" qualifier="issued">1990</dcvalue>
    <dcvalue element="title" qualifier="alternate" language="fr">J'aime les Printemps</dcvalue>
</dublin_core>

(Note the optional language tag attribute which notifies the system that the optional title is in French.)

...

'BUNDLENAME' is the name of the bundle to which the bitstream should be added. Without specifying the bundle, items will go into the default bundle, ORIGINAL.unmigrated-wiki-markup

'PERMISSIONS'  is text with the following format: {{\-\[r\|w\] 'group name'}} is text with the following format: -[r|w] 'group name'

'DESCRIPTION' is text of the files description.

Primary is used to specify the primary bitstream.

Schema

It is possible to use other Schema such as EAD, VRA Core, etc. Make sure you have defined the new scheme in the DSpace Metada Schema Registry.

...

Create a separate file for the other schema named {{metadata_\[prefix\].xml}}, where the {{\[prefix\]}} is replaced with the schema's prefix.
Wiki MarkupInside the xml file use the dame Dublin Core _syntax_, but on the {{<dublin_core>}} element include the attribute {{schema=\[prefix\]}}.

Here is an example for ETD metadata, which would be in the file metadata_etd.xml:

Code Block

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dublin_core schema="etd">
     <dcvalue element="degree" qualifier="department">Computer Science</dcvalue>
     <dcvalue element="degree" qualifier="level">Masters</dcvalue>
     <dcvalue element="degree" qualifier="grantor">Texas A & M</dcvalue>
</dublin_core>
