Description

In order to share the best metadata possible with other systems, it would be helpful if keywords could be mapped to the dc:subject in the OAI. Best practice is a controlled vocabulary, but keywords would be better than nothing - https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-terms/#http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/subject

Research direction

Start by locating the OAI metadata export entry point and how article keywords are represented. Trace the generated metadata for a record, then verify that its keywords appear as dc:subject in the OAI response. Done means the mapping is present and the exported metadata remains valid.
