Ying,
Migrating content from DSpace to Fedora will encounter some loss of
metadata if you utilize sword for this purpose. Namely, the SWAP format
isn't going to contain all the metadata fields in your DSpace items. You
might consider using the AIP PackageDisseminator from the commandline to
extract all the data you can from the DSpace Item.
As you know theres been underfunded efforts to integrate DSpace and Fedora
going on for a few years in the DSpace community. What you end up deciding
on for a mapping between your DSpace Items and Fedora Objects would be of
the utmost interest to us. Likewise, I think we would have a strong
interest in seeing what your choices are for final metadata storage in your
Items.
Regards,
Mark
