The focus of this paper is to present a manual for harvesting added metadata schema elements from data provider repository through PAI-PMH. Here we have attempted to extend the ability of DSpace as well as the OAI-PMH to host or share other metadata schema elements e.g. LRMI, IEEE-LOM, ETD etc. DSpace, by default, is capable of importing and exporting only Dublin Core metadata; but DSpace has the capability by which one can define his own submission form and expose customized fields to OAI-PMH request. This paper attempts to provide a guideline to a DSpace administrator to accommodate different metadata schema as well as enhancing the Interoperable capability between Data provider and Service provider repository for Importing and Exporting customized metadata Schema. This is an important concern as Institutions have different types of content and have implemented metadata schema and elements appropriate to their content.

Abstract


The focus of this paper is to present a manual for harvesting added metadata schema elements from data provider repository through PAI-PMH. Here we have attempted to extend the ability of DSpace as well as the OAI-PMH to host or share other metadata schema elements e.g. LRMI, IEEE-LOM, ETD etc. DSpace, by default, is capable of importing and exporting only Dublin Core metadata; but DSpace has the capability by which one can define his own submission form and expose customized fields to OAI-PMH request. This paper attempts to provide a guideline to a DSpace administrator to accommodate different metadata schema as well as enhancing the Interoperable capability between Data provider and Service provider repository for Importing and Exporting customized metadata Schema. This is an important concern as Institutions have different types of content and have implemented metadata schema and elements appropriate to their content.
