Dear all,
At the present I am working wiht DC for digitized objects, for instance a
digitized radio broadcasting, a photo or a sound recording. I have a problem
with the date for digitized objects. As I read the DC definitions and "Using
Dublin Core", DC.Date should be used for the "instantiation", or the version
"in-hand". Would this imply that DC.Date for digitized object should contain
the digitizing date?
If this a correct interpretation, then my problem is that this date is of no
(or little) interest to the user. The interesting date is the date of the
original, the broadcasting date or the date the photo was taken. Where do I
put this kind of date? It could belong to DC.Source and one of my present
ideas is to add a local qualifier to Source, something like Source.Date for
the date of the original.
Doos anyone "out there" have a good answer to my problem? (I do apologize if
the matter has been discussed on the list before.)
I appreciate your help!
Hilde
