DSpace Deposit — Semantics Reference
The DSpace deposit plugin submits plans to a DSpace 8.x repository. During deposit it reads values from the plan blueprint and descriptions, locating each field by its semantic tag, and writes them to the corresponding Dublin Core field in the DSpace record.
This page lists every DSpace field the plugin can populate and the semantic you must assign to a blueprint or description-template field to populate it.
How the plugin resolves fields
Each semantic below is applied to both plan blueprint fields and description template fields. Values from both sources are merged and all collected values are written to the corresponding Dublin Core field.
Values that are always set (not semantic-driven)
