Hi,

If a training material has not been updated for a time period longer
than year for example it should be marked as "Outdated.”

Yep which can be determined by saving a date of publishing and a guess at when 
it needs to be updated in metadata.

We might be able to automate some of this if it bases on a released version of 
software, but we wouldn’t be able to do that for all material (see below).

"revdate" and "revnumber”.

Not all material is based on a a product version e.g. the current Apache Way 
and incubator talks.

Might be different for each material/training.

Very likely.

What about simply make a usage like this:

Having a "revnumber" means this is version based release.

but if no "revnumber" given but a "revdate" this could be used an
indicator to make it differentiable and handle also the thing to be
identifying material being outdated.

More formally:

If "revnumber" is given AND "revdate" is given:

  Product released based things. Also makes it easy
  to have an "outdated" relation. "revdate" will be filled
  with the release date.


If "revnumber" is NOT given AND "revdate" is given:

  not related to a product; for example incubator talks etc.
  but we can define "outdated" if needed. As you mentioned
  can be filled with published date.


Thanks,
Justin
