<html><head></head><body><div style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 12.0px;"><div>In our current curation project, I got some really nice and fine grained DC metadata with several orles of the</div>
<div>contributors differentiated like this:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div><dc:contributor xsi:type="olac:role" olac:code="compiler">Con, Tributor</dc:contributor><br/>
<dc:contributor xsi:type="olac:role" olac:code="depositor">Con, Tributor</dc:contributor></div>
<div> </div>
<div>The olac2cmdi XSLT script just removes the subdivisions of the contributors, leaving only levelled out information</div>
<div>like this:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div> <OLAC-DcmiTerms></div>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div> <contributor>Con, Tributor</contributor><br/>
<contributor>Con, Tributor</contributor></div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div> </OLAC-DcmiTerms></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thus, some information from the DC metadata is lost in the resulting CMDI.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So, my questions are:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. Should I care about the information loss? Is the information relevant for further processing in the VLO?</div>
<div>2. If I should care, what should I do?</div>
<div>3. If I don't care, should I remove duplicate lines from the CMDI metadata?</div>
