Introduction

What Is This About?
The http://cwspace.mit.edu/ CWSpace project has http://ocw.mit.edu/ MIT OpenCourseWare using the http://www.imsglobal.org/content/packaging/index.html IMS Content Packages to .ZIP up their files for submission to DSpace.
The IMS-CP has in turn a manifest file:

Panel

imsmanifest.xml

OCW and DSpace had some needs to customize the Schema for that XML.
The DSpace bit (it's small!) looks like so:

Panel

<manifest cwsp:packageType="Course">
<metadata>
<cwsp:packageMetadata>
<cwsp:checksum>string reserved for future use</cwsp:checksum>
<cwsp:sourceSystem>OCW</cwsp:sourceSystem>
<cwsp:profile>CWSpace</cwsp:profile>
<cwsp:profileVersion>1.0</cwsp:profileVersion>
</cwsp:packageMetadata>
...

To permit systems to validate these manifest XMLs, we need to publish a Namespace UI and an actual Schema .xsd document with these elements somewhere on the Internet.
The Namespace we intend to use is...

Panel

http://www.dspace.org/xmlns/cwspace_imscp

...and the Schema .xsd location we intend to use is

Panel

http://www.dspace.org/xsd/cwspace_imscp/version10/cwspace_imscp.xsd

(Note that the ocw.mit.edu server will also be hosting similar Schema at similar address to document the OCW-specific modifications to the Schema.) Example IMS Content Packaging "manifest" file:

Panel

imsmanifest.xml

(Just the document element, with all the Namespace and SchemaLocation information.)

Update: 'xmlns' and 'xsd'

Please Note This Detail: At www.dspace.org/ (and at ocw.mit.edu/) we have adopted a perhaps not always seen practice (which we regard as an improvement), of placing the Namespace UI beneath a subdirectory off the server root called '/xmlns/', while the corresponding XML Schema document lives beneath a sibling subdirectory (also off the server root) called '/xsd/'.
