It looks like to store author affiliations, you can use dc:contributor http://dublincore.org/documents/dc-citation-guidelines/
Then to make that browseable/searchable, it gets added to the index (configurable). And to have the affiliation (dc.contributor) show up in the item view page, you have a theme which overrides the default fields displayed. Also, can you tell more about what the affiliation tree is, perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you're asking. I was thinking affiliation would be where you have an author "Albert Einstein" and is affiliated with two universities, i.e. dc:author = Albert Einstein dc:contributor = University of Zurich dc:contributor = University of Berne Peter Dietz Systems Developer/Engineer Ohio State University Libraries On Fri, Apr 30, 2010 at 11:26 AM, Mateusz Neumann <m.neum...@icm.edu.pl>wrote: > Hi > > I was asked to work on institutional repository for our organization. > DSpace seemed to be quite what we were looking for but one major thing > needs to be done to fit our needs.
