Hi,

> Please, file a new Jira issue for this:

With apologies for the delay getting around to it, but I have now done this: 
https://jira.duraspace.org/i#browse/DS-1740 - this is my first time adding a 
JIRA ticket, so I hope everything is OK, but feel free to let me know or change 
anything if not :-)

My understanding is that this is in dc.type - I'm currently liaising with a 
number of other DSpace users that participate in the EThOS service (the primary 
consumers of uketd_dc metadata) as there may well be more than one value - I'm 
hoping though that all the different variations will, at the very least, all 
contain the word "Thesis", so my first question is to ask if you know if it is 
possible to use pattern matching to carry out the filtering in xoai.xsl? I am 
intending to investigate this further, I just haven't got to it yet, but if 
anyone knows the answer it would be helpful at this stage!

In terms of dc.type - I've also noted an issue with this attribute - it looks 
to me like any dc.type or dc.type.* attributes are being concatenated into a 
single dc.type attribute before the data reaches the uketd_dc crosswalk (? 
Please correct me if I'm wrong!)  - I don't think this behaviour is correct in 
uketd_dc as there are a couple of qualified dc.type attributes that are mapped 
to their own uketd_dc elements, so I'm hoping that it will be possible to 
prevent this behaviour when generating uketd_dc OAI metadata (again, not had a 
chance to look myself yet, but will!)?

I am currently working on this specification, which is nearly complete, and 
liaising with other institutions to ensure that the specified mapping is as 
generic as possible and so will work for the majority of institutions "out of 
the box" - alongside this I'm also creating a uketd_dc.xsl crosswalk that 
implements that specification, and, once complete, hopefully the folk from 
EThOS will be able to validate the output for us.

I'm hoping that all this will only take a couple of weeks to sort out (other 
work commitments allowing), but that may, of course, be a bit optimistic :-)

I hope that covers where I'm currently at and what I'm hoping to achieve, but 
of course, if anyone has any questions, comments, or concerns (or any pointers 
for any of the issues noted above), or if you are interested in participating 
in the specification/testing of this crosswalk (and haven't been in touch so 
far), then please don't hesitate to get back to me.

Regards,

Mike
