Japan's National Institute of Informatics (NII) has made guidelines for
metadata usage in IRs; "junii2 Guidelines",
        http://www.nii.ac.jp/irp/archive/system/pdf/junii2guide_ver1.0.pdf

They give these tags,
- dc.identifier.volume
- dc.identifier.issue
- dc.identifier.spage
- dc.identifier.epage

I can see several IRs in Japan using these codes.  An example,
        
http://ir.lib.shizuoka.ac.jp/handle/10297/2183?mode=full&submit_simple=Show+
full+item+record

I assume they use (created?) these because Dublin Core is silent on the
issue.  We have the same problem in Hong Kong.  What to do for tags to show
enumeration & pagination?  Now it is hopelessly all jumbled into
dc.identifier.citation.

Do IRs outside Japan use these same tags?  If not, what tags are used to
show enumeration & pagination?  Is this issue being addressed in DSpace 1.6
or 1.7?  Will all of us solve this problem by ourselves individually and
thus create tags, variously weird & wonderful?  Let a thousand flowers
bloom?
