Hi, How do I make a recommendation for documentation improvement?


I am working through the code here:

https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/main/dspace/config/registries/dublin-core-types.xml


When I get to line 269: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blame/7131b7a9e515443f03190063084c0385be26e84f/dspace/config/registries/dublin-core-types.xml#L269


The code no longer matches the documentation. The relevant documentation in the wiki is here:

https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/Metadata+and+Bitstream+Format+Registries

The following three items are missing from the tables in the documentation:

DC | identifier | scopus² | The scopus identifier
DC | identifier | sici² | Serial Item and Contribution Identifier
DC | identifier | doi | The doi identifier minted by this repository.


As far as I can tell these were added via or around this commit: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/commit/18573ff0549a52be9ce801911a6399061305e383


As far as I can tell the change log in the top of the file is also missing an adjustment mentioning the change.


Kind Regards,
Hugh Paterson III

Hi Hugh,

Thanks for the recommendations.  I've added them: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC8x/Metadata+and+Bitstream+Format+Registries

In the future, you are welcome to add comments to the documentation page where you see the mistake.  However, to do so, you'd need to request for a (free) wiki account by emailing wiki...@lyrasis.org
