[Dspace-general] "Thesis advisor" metadata

[David Goodman]

The full benefit of such excellent projects as you are doing with your theses, will no come until other institutions and depositories do the same. This, a I understand it, is the reson for adding it to the distribution. Presumably it would still remain an option set of fields, so it would be backwards compatible.

Never fear, Margret just meant that our changes to implement this feature 
are quite minor (i.e. addition of a couple of  metadata qualifiers, a new 
index, and a few minor jsp changes).
These fall into the category of "local institutional customizations" and 
don't warrant an update to the DSpace open source codebase. We'd be happy 
to write up what we do and post
it on dspace.org or something like that, in case other institutions want to 
do something similar...
