(subject changed since this is a slight derail) I've been testing this new feature as well, and it's excellent. I have some things I'd like to add/change:
- The ability to pass null OAI Set IDs, so entire repositories can be harvested... I've already tested this one on my test server - Some better handling of dc.creator vs. dc.contributor and dc.date vs dc.date.* and dc.identifier.* when ingesting the new items - More error-tolerant metadataPrefix handling.. some repos return invalid/erroneous namespace strings, even if they do support a certain metadata format Definitely a useful feature, and I'd really like to see it make it into Dspace 1.6.
