Good question! Unless something has changed recently, you didn't miss it in the documentation (and we need to fix that). The various pages are laid out by the Theme which is active for a given URL. (This is determined in config/xmlui.xconf, near the bottom.) So you first need to figure out which Theme you're going to customize. All the Themes I'm aware of inherit a lot of code from what I like to call the "Theme library": 'themes/dri2xhtml.xsl' and the components it 'xsl:import's from 'themes/dri2xhtml/*'. In the source kit these are found under 'dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-webapp/src/main/webapp'. There's some discussion on the wiki of copying a Theme to make a new one, if you need to do that. (It's probably a good idea to do so whenever you customize.) You need to fish around in the Theme library to find the bit of XSL that transforms DRI elements into the kind of page you want to alter. The stuff I want to change tends to be in 'dri2xhtml/DIM-Handler.xsl'. Typically you make a copy of that code and place it in your Theme's own something.xsl, making the necessary alterations. That causes your altered version of the template(s) to override the 'import'ed code from the "library". I think the area you want is the "itemSummaryView-DIM" template. I think there's some material on the wiki about getting the raw DRI for an interesting page, which may help to track down the particular transform code for the portion you're interested in. -- Mark H.
