Possible changes to CGSpace metadata fields to align more with DC, QDC, and DCTERMS as well as CG Core v2.
With reference to [CG Core v2 draft standard](https://agriculturalsemantics.github.io/cg-core/cgcore.html) by Marie-Angélique as well as [DCMI DCTERMS](http://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-terms/).
- current values are "Open Access" and "Limited Access"
- future values are possibly "Open" and "Restricted"?
- dc.language.iso→dcterms.language
- current values are ISO 639-1 (aka Alpha 2)
- future values are possibly ISO 639-3 (aka Alpha 3)?
- cg.link.reference→dcterms.relation
- dc.publisher→dcterms.publisher
- dc.relation.ispartofseries→dcterms.isPartOf
- dc.rights→dcterms.license
- Using [SPDX license identifiers](https://spdx.org/licenses/) if possible
- dc.source→cg.journal
- dc.subject→dcterms.subject
- dc.type→dcterms.type
- dc.identifier.isbn→cg.isbn
- dc.identifier.issn→cg.issn
The following fields are currently out of the scope of this migration because they are used internally by DSpace 5.x/6.x and would be difficult to change without significant modifications to the core of the code:
There are a few things that I need to check once I get a deployment of this code up and running:
- Assess the XSL changes to see if things like `not(@qualifier)]` still make sense after we move fields from DC to DCTERMS, as some fields will no longer have qualifiers
- Do I need to edit crosswalks that we are not using, like [MODS](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/DSpace+AIP+Format#DSpaceAIPFormat-MODSSchema)?
- There is potentially a lot of work in the OAI metadata formats like DIM, METS, and QDC (see `dspace/config/crosswalks/oai/*.xsl`)
