Group- We're populating an XMLUI DSpace instance with test data in preparation for its launch. I'm exporting metadata from a collection containing a mix of items. Certain fields' contents are, when viewed in the sheet exported, followed by a range of bracketed qualifiers.
We have... dc.description.abstract and dc.description.abstract[] also... dc.publisher[] and dc.publisher[en_US] We also have... dc.description.provenance[en] My questions are, 1) On this documentation page <https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Localization+L10n>on localization it states "Metadata localization: DSpace associates each metadata field value with a language code (though it may be left empty, e.g. for numeric values)." Is this the process governing the creation of these bracketed values? Is there a more robust description of how this works? 2) How are they assigned per-field? Through a configuration (if so, which)? Based on the field's contents? 3) The essential question: why are we getting different versions of the same field? Note that some items were ingested through SWORD, while others were manually uploaded, or Bulk uploaded in Simple Archive Format. 4) In terms of bulk editing <https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Batch+Metadata+Editing#BatchMetadataEditing-EditingtheCSV> through the UI via CSV, can values in, say, dc.publisher[] and dc.publisher[en_US], be left in separate columns for reupload, or must they be consolidated? 5) is there a way to prevent these bracketed values from being assigned/created? Having divergent versions of the same field in the edit metadata CSV complicates our metadata administration workflows.
