Dear List Members, I am in the process or preparing material for bulk import and have again encountered and issue that I was inclined to gloss over last time it arose: the format of the DSpace Dublin Core Date Elements, Qualifiers, and particularly, the Values.
What exactly is the required Value format and is it configurable? Simple date Values such as the following present no difficulty: <dcvalue element="date" qualifier="issued">1970</dcvalue> The trouble for me -- and this situation would arise often for many projects -- is how to correctly represent date ranges, for e.g., date issued, 1964 to 1970. Which Value format should should be used to represent a date range in DSpace DC? Some DSpace version of the W3C-DTF/ISO 8601 scheme? http://dublincore.org/documents/2000/07/28/dcmi-period/ Best regards, Richard Mahoney -- Richard MAHONEY | internet: http://indica-et-buddhica.org/ Littledene | telephone/telefax (man.): +64 3 312 1699 Bay Road | cellular: +64 27 482 9986 OXFORD, NZ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Indica et Buddhica: Materials for Indology and Buddhology Repositorium: http://indica-et-buddhica.org/repositorium/ Philologica: http://indica-et-buddhica.org/philologica/ Subscriptions: http://subscriptions.indica-et-buddhica.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
