Enable information update of an Organization Item from ROR registry #4532

Description

@pilasou

DSpace 8 supports the importation of ROR organization records in a collection with OrgUnit Entity type. However, once imported into DSpace, the organization metadata does not receive automatic updates, and any changes must be made manually.

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow administrators of the Organization Entity type collection to update information for items previously imported from the ROR registry.
The update can be triggered via a specific button on the Item page, that would display on the Organization Items created from ROR registry (presence of organization.identifier.ror metadata can be an indicator to display the button or not). The image below is just showing an example of the update option displayed as a specific button.

In a DSpace organization record, the date of the last update may appear in a specific metadata field (e.g., dc.date.updated).

As a first step, the update can simply replaces all metadata of the existing Item.

This synchronisation could be done manually or be scripted.

Dependency

Before planning this improvement, it will be necessary to update the ROR API version DSpace is using, see DSpace/DSpace#11019
