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?
