Hi, Claudia. Thank you for answering.<br>I got that. But there's some gap I can't understand. I'll give you an example to (try to) explain why it doesn't make sense:<br><br>Below, two fields from one of my forms:<br>
<br><field><br> <dc-schema>dc</dc-schema><br> <dc-element>subject</dc-element><br> <dc-qualifier/><br> <repeatable>true</repeatable><br> <label>Subject</label><br>
<input-type>onebox</input-type><br> <hint/><br> <required/><br> </field><br><br><field><br> <dc-schema>dc</dc-schema><br> <dc-element>subject</dc-element><br>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;"><dc-qualifier/><br></div> <repeatable>false</repeatable><br> <label>Keywords</label><br> <input-type>onebox</input-type><br>
<hint/><br> <required/><br></field><br><br>The first is the subject of the item itself. The other one is for the keywords' field. I can't merge them into a single repeatable field, once they have different meanings. <br>
<br>So, how am I supposed to solve this, considering I can't have duplicated elements? Dublin Core and Dspace wouldn't limit the number of metadata, of fields, would them?<br><br>Well, maybe I could insert a qualifier for each element. But the official DC's qualifiers list* doesn't include as many qualifiers as I need. Can I write (create) any qualifier I want? Or is there any other solution I'm not figuring out?<br>

<br>
this is true with regards to the metadata registry. There an element got to be unique within a schema. As for the input forms, you can mark a field as repeatable to have the possibility to enter multiple values for a field, e.g.:<br>
<field><br>
<dc-schema>dc</dc-schema><br>
<dc-element>contributor</dc-element><br>
<dc-qualifier>author</dc-qualifier><br>
<repeatable>true</repeatable><br>
<label>Authors</label><br>
<input-type>name</input-type><br>
<hint>Enter the names of the authors of this item below.</hint><br>
<required></required><br>
</field><br>
<br>
Setting<br>
<repeatable>true</repeatable><br>
allows for multiple authors to be entered.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps<br>
<br>

Hi, everyone.<br>
<br>
I've discovered that DSpace does not accept duplicated dc-elements for the<br>
same dc-schema. And discovered also that this verification is done in<br>
DCInputsReader, method checkForDups( ). But I don't understand the reason<br>
for it, once there are no problems about repeating elements in Dublin Core.<br>
<br>
And It doesn't seem a good idea to skip this verification in DSpace's code<br>
as well.<br>
<br>
Am I wrong, duplicated element are an important thing to check? And if so,<br>
does anyone know why?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
