<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'>I am part of a team implementing
a DSpace Manakin framework for our institutional repository. It appears to me
that when an administrator is adding an item to a collection, the metadata
fields that are available can not be changed on the front end by the
administrator. It seems the community must be programmed on the back end to
make certain metadata elements available. (At least, this is what I am gleaning
from reading the “<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>DSpace
how-to guide: tips and tricks for managing common DSpace chores” document
on the DSpace wiki.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Before we begin programming specific metadata
elements, however, I want to confirm that I’m correct about this. Thank
you!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
