OAI Crosswalk for Electronic Theses and Dissertations Metadata

https://scholarship.rice.edu/dspace-oai/request?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=etdms11

Purpose

To provide updates to the OAI ETDMS format for the latest version of the ETD-MS v1.1 standard (http://sites.google.com/a/ndltd.org/ndltd/standards/metadata#)

Major Changes

Authors. The element has been deprecated in v1.1. The current standard (ETD-MS v1.1) recommends using to record author names.

Degree Info. The current standard (ETD-MS v1.1) recommends using specialized schema for recording degree information in syntax: thesis.degree.qualifier. These “degree” elements are now exposed.

Other changes

Formats and Types. A growing practice among repositories is to use qualified type and format elements. This crosswalk includes mapping for qualified elements (e.g. dc.type.genre)

Descriptions. Non-abstract description data is mapped to dc.description.note

Dates. Only a single date value (date graduated) is outputted.
