DSpace uses Dublin Core metadata schema, which includes 15 elements and some qualifiers to adapt to the library implementation profile. DSpace supports OAI (Open Archives Initiative’s Protocol) to provide metadata harvesting as a data provider, which is crucial for Open Archive Initiative.
Dspace could export metadata in DCXML file, now the team is working on migrating the export capability to use the METS standard, which will facilitate to exchange digital library objects between repositories. Basically, DSpace could be customized to allow interoperation with other library or document systems for auto-depositing in DSpace. With this capability, I try to establish the export capability for transferring metadata between dspace and our ILS, then our library users only need one search on library catalog to locate the information in our digital collection, which will definitely improve the search effectiveness and efficiency.
