You need to add new terms to the metadata registry using the dspace-admin function, and then add those new terms to input-forms.xml to make them appear on the html forms. That bit is fairly easy and is a typical thing that a Dspace admin would do, the more messy part is that there is not any widely recognised metadata schema that will allow you to store this information, at least not in the context of Dspace. I think that most people with a similar requirement make up their own terms and possibly schema eg. mine:volume, mine:issue, etc. The next tricky bit is that the Dspace submission process is not 'type' based so how do you request the appropriate information dependant on type ? You can either just not think about type and always ask the user for all citation data even when not appropriate (eg volume/issue for a book?), or you can split your collections by type as input-forms.xml allows you to define different forms for different collections.
