I'm curious:  what will people do with that?  Why isn't it sufficient
to tag each item (article) with the metadata for that item?

This is sometimes used to display an HTML summary for the journal.

There is a size limit (at least in DSpace 1.4, it is 512 characters).

Blast. That ruins what I had in mind then. If you take a look at the
periodicals part of the TDL dspace at
http://repositories.tdl.org/tdl/handle/2249.1/5065 you will see it organises
the collection by volume and issue. I want to do something very similar but
for multiple journals, and also ordering the articles within an issue. The
way that TDL renders the volume/issue data is by using the metadata intro
text in the collection. This metadata is set up to list the volume and issue
for each DOI in the collection. That is why for non-trivial collections it
is going to get very big. The TDL site has a small number of items in the
collection and they are complete issues, i.e. no individual articles within
the issue.

AFAIK it is not enough to tag the item because this doesnt help when
displaying the collection. How would one get at the metadata for each item
in the collection when at the collection level? Is there a way?
