Hi Richard,
To clarify, in my point #2, I was NOT suggesting an automated route towards fixing dates. As you noted, even if dc.date.issued=dc.date.accessioned, that doesn't necessarily mean that the date is wrong. It's just "suspect" (as we know it was auto-assigned by DSpace, it has a greater chance of being incorrect, but it's not guaranteed to be incorrect).
Ideally, in my mind, we'd have a tool (curation task? command-line tool?) that can just report which Item dates are "suspect" (where dc.date.issued=dc.date.accessioned), and provide a list of all Items which may need manual verification. If there was a way to leverage Bulk Metadata Editing (e.g. dump that list of items with possible suspect dates along with those date fields into a CSV), that'd be even better, as it'd give a quick way for repo managers to try and review & cleanup however they see fit.
In the end, the "cleaning" of the date fields is gonna require some form of manual intervention. I don't see any way to automate it, unless we had another "trusted" source to pull a correct date from -- but that's unlikely for most of these cases.

When Google & Google Scholar index DSpace content (from a variety of institutions), the "dc.date.issued" value is incorrect the majority of the time. The reason is that, if unspecified, DSpace sets this issued date to the *date of a...
