Research direction

Compare how contributor metadata is collected by the contribution form, stored separately, and displayed in admin/items/show and the plugin configuration pages. Trace the public items/show rendering path and determine how the data should map to the DC: Contributor field. Done means contributor data submitted through the form appears in the public item's contributor metadata.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Contributor metadata is saved in a separate table from the DC metadata. It is available in admin/items/show, and separately in the plugin's configuration pages, but it isn't automatically called to public items/show pages.

Is it possible to map the contributor data collected from the contribution form into the DC: Contributor field?
