I know how you feel. You can either stop caring about sorting dates or you can generate dates in form 1984-01-01. > My understanding of the ISO standard is that a date can take the form of > yyyy, yyyy-mm and yyyy-mm-dd but it's certainly understandable that DSpace > won't be happy about that. Yes, ISO 8601 does allow all those forms and more. It's an old limitation in DSpace. > 8 language VARCHAR(10),| dc:language.rfc3066| en (English), fr I'd personally go with dc.language.iso and put ISO 639-3 code in (others also use ISO 639-2). DSpace doesn't prescribe which one and AFAIK, DC doesn't, either. You may want to check whether QDC or DCTERMS prescribe a particular vocabulary. > 34 publisher_ VARCHAR(40),| local:publisherlocation| Publisher > location This _feels_ like it should go to dc.publisher.location (which we don't have by default). Check the standards. If unsure, leaving it in local is fine. In any case, it's a simple SQL query to change all values of a particular field to a different schema, element or qualifier, so don't worry too much about it. > PS: I did look at the submitted table and it really looks bad -- should I > take a crack at formatting it a little better and resubmit? This is the one case where I use HTML emails - to explicitly format text as monospaced, or for syntax highlighting if I'm feeling fancy. You may want to also send it to dspace-general, but I don't think they'll have anything to add.
