The ability to configure classification schemes in DSpace will be 
available in 1.4.

A handle prefix is assigned by CNRI which identifies your repository, 
and the DSpace software assigns a unique number to each object 
(Community/Collection/Item). The CNRI prefix and the DSpace number form 
the unique handle identifier.

The only requirement for the default item submission is a title. As of DSpace 1.2.2 you can customise the metadata entry pages so you can decide what metadata needs to be entered.
