items, where the actual item is not available in a digital form (or unavailable
to us to upload for some reason). We want to add metadata which describes the
physical form (e.g. “Compact Disc”) and the medium (“Sound
recording”), but we cannot use the format.medium or other format elements
because they are used by DSpace for the uploaded content, and therefore cannot
be displayed in the simple item view.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Georgia><span style='font-size:12.0pt;

to get around this problem. Have you created additional metadata elements for
this, or simply used the unqualified “description” element?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
