Hi Yuri,
this is true with regards to the metadata registry. There an element got
to be unique within a schema. As for the input forms, you can mark a
field as repeatable to have the possibility to enter multiple values for
a field, e.g.:
<field>
<dc-schema>dc</dc-schema>
<dc-element>contributor</dc-element>
<dc-qualifier>author</dc-qualifier>
<repeatable>true</repeatable>
<label>Authors</label>
<input-type>name</input-type>
<hint>Enter the names of the authors of this item below.</hint>
<required></required>
</field>
Setting
<repeatable>true</repeatable>
allows for multiple authors to be entered.
Hope this helps
Claudia Jürgen
