Well I would like to remove it all together, as I already have a 
dc.contributor.author[en_US] for every item.  Under the discover facet on the 
XMLUI theme I have the following:

Author

*         unknown (1739)

*         (1627)
Everyone one of the 1,627 I am almost certain is included in the unknown 
facet's results of 1739 items.

The metadata for one of the items is like this:

dc.contributor.author

en_US

dc.contributor.author

unknown

en_US


I would want to remove the blank one from the record.

Thanks,

Tom

Subject: Re: [Dspace-general] Metadata Question

I take it you would like that if the author name is empty, don't "display" that 
field in item list and item summary list. Is that right? In that case, the 
method depends on whether you are using jspui(the default) or xmlui. There are 
sections in the DSpace user's manual on how to customize displayed metadata, 
but I'm not sure how you could extend that technique to conditionally exclude 
metadata fields.

Hi,

I just noticed that I have a lot of items with the following 
dc.contributor.author[en_US] = "" Where there is no text. And then I have 
dc.contributor.author[en_US] = "unknown" which I want. Is there is an easy way 
to remove the empty metadata for the author?

Thanks!

Tom
