CGSpace CG Core v2 Migration
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 by Marie-Angélique as well as DCMI DCTERMS.
Proposed Changes
As of 2019-12-22 the scope of the changes includes the following fields:
- cg.creator.id→cg.creator.identifier
- ORCID identifiers
- dc.format.extent→dcterms.extent
- dc.date.issued→dcterms.issued
- dc.description.abstract→dcterms.abstract
- dc.description→dcterms.description
- dc.description.sponsorship→cg.contributor.donor
- values from CrossRef or Grid.ac if possible
- dc.description.version→cg.review-status
- cg.fulltextstatus→cg.howpublished
- CGSpace uses values like “Formally Published” or “Grey Literature”
- dc.identifier.citation→dcterms.bibliographicCitation
- cg.identifier.status→dcterms.accessRights
- 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 if possible
- dc.source→cg.journal
- dc.subject→dcterms.subject
- dc.type→dcterms.type
- dc.identifier.isbn→cg.isbn
- dc.identifier.issn→cg.issn
- cg.targetaudience→dcterms.audience
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:
- dc.title (
IncludePageMeta.java
only considers DC when building pageMeta, which we rely on in XMLUI because of XSLT from DRI) - dc.title.alternative
- dc.date.available
- dc.date.accessioned
- dc.identifier.uri (hard coded for Handle assignment upon item submission)
- dc.description.provenance
- dc.contributor.author (
IncludePageMeta.java
only considers DC when building pageMeta, which we rely on in XMLUI because of XSLT from DRI)
Fields to Create
Make sure the following fields exist:
- cg.creator.identifier (242)
- cg.contributor.donor (243)
- cg.review-status (244)
- cg.howpublished (245)
- cg.journal (246)
- cg.isbn (247)
- cg.issn (248)
Fields to delete
Fields to delete after migration:
- cg.creator.id
- cg.fulltextstatus
- cg.identifier.status
- cg.link.reference
- cg.targetaudience
Implementation Progress
Tally of the status of the implementation of the new fields in the CGSpace 5_x-cgcorev2
branch.

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?
- There is potentially a lot of work in the OAI metadata formats like DIM, METS, and QDC (see
dspace/config/crosswalks/oai/*.xsl
)
¹ Not committed yet because I don't want to have to make minor adjustments in multiple commits. Re-apply the gauntlet of fixes with the sed script:
$ find dspace/modules/xmlui-mirage2/src/main/webapp/themes -iname "*.xsl" -exec sed -i -f ./cgcore-xsl-replacements.sed {} \;
