Recommendations towards “Updating the Qualified Dublin Core registry in DSpace to the latest standards of the DCMI,” a priority identified in the October 2011 community survey on improving metadata support. It also seeks to comply with the proposal to Standardize the Default Namespace.  Discussion of this issue thus far is stored as a DCAT Discussion Forum topic, "Updating the Qualified Dublin Core registry in DSpace."

Recommendation (tentative, pending further community input):

...

-By locking down registries, ensure compliance with QDC and DCTERMS standards but provide tools to allow customizations not compliant with QDC/DCTERMS to persist in local schema.

 Outstanding Outstanding issues for committers and community:

...

-To enable repositories to migrate existing metadata to QDC and DCTERMS registries, we will need to develop robust tools for repositories to deploy. One outstanding issue is the design and development of these tools.
