Hi Alvin,

This is expected behavior (starting in DSpace 5) and is not a bug. As of DSpace 5, *all objects* now use the Qualified Dublin Core schema that comes with DSpace. Previously, you could only assign DC-based metadata to Items. But, as of DSpace 5, Communities, Collections and Bitstreams (i.e. Files) also use DC-based metadata. So, the fact that you see files names in your "dc.title" field is expected behavior, as the "dc.title" field is now used to store titles (i.e. names) of all Communities/Collections/Items/Bitstreams.

This feature is noted in the "5.0 Release Notes" as "All objects now have metadata support" (aka Metadata for All Objects). The reason for this change was to enhance our data model to allow for (in the future) capabilities to more easily add *new* custom metadata fields to any object (again not just Items).

As for the database upgrade scripts, even though they are now run automatically, you can still view them in the 5.x codebase at:

https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/dspace-5_x/dspace-api/src/main/resources/org/dspace/storage/rdbms/sqlmigration/postgres

(They are numbered sequentially.. and any that start with "V5.0" are run during the upgrade from 4.x to 5.0)

Hopefully that helps clarify what you are seeing after your 5.x upgrade!

I have a problem that I think may be related to the upgrade from version 4 to 5.

My database table, metadatavalue has a lot of filenames in the text value where the metadata_field_id=64.

That field ID is normally reserved for title only so I wonder how these filenames were recorded there.

There are also legitimate titles listed for the resource_id, but it contains extraneous records with field ID 64.

Because upgrade no longer requires the user to execute a series of scripts, I can no longer view the steps of what happens with the old database to convert it to the new schema.

Has anyone else had or seen a similar problem?



Thanks in advance,
