• Update current “DCMI Terms” metadata registry to QDC
  • "DCMI Terms" is the name of the metadata registry that ships with DSpace. It was designed to comply with the draft Library Application Profile for Dublin Core. The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) subsequently updated its Qualified Dublin Core (QDC) standard 
  • provide brief definition and reference (link?) for "DCMI Terms" and "QDC"
  • provide reasoning - why is compliance with QDC (ultimately DCTERMS) important/desirable
  • provide a few specific examples of what fields would change from/to, perhaps identify some of what the basic differences would be from current DCMI
• Add DCTERMS as new, parallel metadata registry
  
  • provide brief definition and reference (link?) for "DCTERMS"
  • provide reasoning - why is compliance DCTERMS important/desirable
  • provide a few specific examples of what fields would change from/to, perhaps identify some of what the basic differences would be from current DCMI
• Lockdown registries, offering migratory tools to pull out local customizations and push into new local schema. Make it possible but not easy to delete or edit elements in QDC and DCTERMS registries. Continue to enable the addition of qualifiers in the QDC registry
• Clarify end result - how many metadata registries DSpace will ship with – 3?: 
  
  • 1) QDC - which will be an up date of the current DCMI, and will set as the default metadata schema 
  • 2) DCTERMS - which will be an optional metadata schema, ultimate goal of replacing QDC at some point in the future
  • 3) Local schema - which would ship empty, for the purpose of local customizations
