[Dspace-general] thesaurus

[Margret Branschofsky]

Hi Beatriz,

Are you asking how to use metadata fields that are not supported in our 
submission forms, like the following:
subject. lcc  - Library of Congress Classification Number
subject. lcsh - Library of Congress Subject Heading
subject. mesh - Medical Subject Headings
subject.other?
One way to include these is to use the item importer to get metadata into 
DSpace.  I'm copying this question to dspace-tech in case there are other 
suggestions.
