Thank you for the pointer Marvin. I should perhaps have said that I had
searched the documentation and web, and that this was one of first
pieces I consulted ;)

The trouble is that I want to be able to ensure that not only the
DSpace DC Elements and Qualifiers are valid but also the Values -- e.g.
date values. I am beginning to wonder if the DSpace bulk uploader does
any serious validity checking on the `dublin_core.xml' file at all.
Last time I bulk uploaded a decent amount of material I noticed that I
could feed in all manner of date issued data. All was accepted and the
UI rendering predictably poor.

I want to ensure more consistency this time round, hence my request for
the `Definitive DSpace DTD or Schema'.


Best Richard
