I can tell you right off that some fields have linguistic content.
dc.language.iso, dc.type and dc.date should not have text_lang fields in normal
use. If you're using date formats starting with "the Year of our Lord one
thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven..." they may do, but if you're doing
that, you probably have bigger issues.
I'm not sure where this gets set in dspace.

I am still looking for insight on this question. I have posted this question
to Stack Overflow.

I appreciate any insight you can offer.

Over time, we have noticed that the text_lang column of the metadatavalues
table has become inconsistent.
We have entries with each of the following values for data entered in english.
* en_US
* en
* blank
* null
These inconsistencies become problematic when we perform batch metadata edits.
I am working on an effort to normalize these values.
As a test, I created a new submission and populated a value into every field on
the item submission screen. When the submission was completed, I ended up with
the following results.
* Most entries had a lang of "en"
* dc.date.* entries had a null value
* This applied to user-generated and system-generated dates
* most dc.identifer.uri entries had a null value
* dc.identifier.bibliographicCitation was set to "en"
* dc.relation.ispartofseries had a null value
* dc.relation.uri was set to "en"
Is there a property in one of the item submission workflows that controls how
the text_lang column is set?
