<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-NZ style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>From brief sampling of repositories what I can see
there is considerable variation in how the date format is employed (e.g. YYYY, D-MMM-YYYY,
YYYY-MM) in the date.issued field. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-NZ style='font-size:

is automatically attributed a value (current date) if one is not provided
(indicating that the item has been published or distributed prior to being in
the repository or at that point via the repository). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-NZ style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I’ll admit, I’m not ultimately convinced
of the merits of date.issued as a tag except that it indicates a prior publishing
to open or limited audiences, or a point (aside from the accessioned date, to
indicate that it is being published/distributed via the repository). I’d
quite like to be convinced of its merits given it takes effort to remove this
from the record or potentially a reconfiguration of some sort to prevent this
automatic attribution. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

entering date.copyright metadata tag (copyright covers both published and
unpublished items). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
