Good morning!
I have two conceptual ideas about our DSpace repository that I am not sure are correct. I am basically struggling with questions of interoperability - we want our detailed metadata to appear in VuFind and we want to create detailed OCLC records with Digital Gateway. First, I am hoping with all hope that the detailed metadata we have worked very hard to create for our DSpace repository can somehow be exposed through OAI (I know that the default OAI only provides the basic DC elements). I have gone through the documentation and it looks like the qdc crosswalk can be configured to show additional metadata - but what files do you have to configure to add a new metadata field to be displayed by the OAI qdc (i.e. to create a new crosswalk)? I'm kind of confused by the language in the documentation: "Qualified Dublin Core, produced by the configurable QDC crosswalk. Note that this QDC does not include all of the DSpace "dublin core" metadata fields, since the XML standard for QDC is defined for a different set of elements and qualifiers." (My emphasis) Second, because we can't use the XMLUI admin interface on our live site and for other reasons, I would like to use SWORD in order to perform all of our batch importing and batch metadata editing/curation on a dev site and then have the collection pushed into the live site via SWORD to avoid doing all this work with live records - is it possible to use SWORD to transfer many items at a time? Or is this just not a good idea - what is the practice for setting up a new community with multiple collections and thousands of items imported as batches, checking them, making corrections and without doing it in public view? Thanks so much in advance for your time and patience! Also - I have written an R script which will make a SIP from a spreadsheet of metadata -- if anyone wants it email me! Simon Brown
