Hello everyone, Tim and Mark thank you for the guidance and please allow me to take that as an opportunity to elaborate. Using DSpace 3.1 and following the community's suggestions and implementations we have been using dc.date.issued, automatically generated by the system as publication date and dc.date.submitted as a user-input date (usually only month and year) of thesis completion and submission to the academic department for evaluation and rating. Our repository is self-archived, so the system date (dc.date. accessioned and available) is the date when both faculty and administration of the Institution have accepted it for archival. After the change in DSpace date issued manipulation we need to rethink the use of the above fields and maybe edit accordingly all items, so your opinions would be highly appreciated. My concerns are the following: What are the community's guidelines? Does dc.date.issued need to be year-month-day or could it be year or year-month? Is it misleading to set a thesis publication date as the day it has been archived into the Digital Repository system? Is dc.date.submitted deprecated? How do other institutions with self-archiving deal with dates?
I would love to hear your feedback. Best, Kiriaki -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Technical Support" group.
