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?
