Re: [EP-tech] OAI-PMH datestamp value

Hi Mick,

In OAI-PMH terms, the 'datestamp' should be when the record was last updated.

This is correct - and the basis of the OAI-PMH incremental harvesting.

 

The 'datestamp' in normal EPrints terms is the date that the record was first made live.

 

I think there should be a difference between what CORE see as 'data bout the OAI-PMH representation' and 'data about the item tiself'.

 

Can you see data in CORE that looks incorrect?

 

Cheers,

John

Subject: [EP-tech] OAI-PMH datestamp value

 

Hi list

 

I’m looking at out OAI export and the datestamp value, e.g.

 

http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/cgi/oai2?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc

 

I had thought datestamp in the export mapped to eprint->datestamp

 

But looking at this in relation to REF work and data we’re sending to Jisc-Core is seems to be ‘date last modified’ that’s being used.

 

Is this the default mapping in EPrints?

 

Regards

Mick
