Hi David,
Just to say that, yes, we use these metadata elements in our repository here at the University of Stirling - the submitter enters the citation in a single field (dc.relation), and then we break this down into the component parts during workflow (we tried it the other way round as well I believe, but settled on this approach). If the submitter doesn't enter the full citation (and even if they do), our workflow staff look this information up in order to double check it or add it as required.
https://dspace.stir.ac.uk/dspace/handle/1893/1720?mode=full&submit_simple=Show+full+item+record
There were a number of reasons for doing this - one of them being the work being done in Japan a while back on linking Open URL resolvers and repositories which requires to have this data in separate fields - as they were doing this work, and therefore suggesting some metadata elements for holding this data, we decided, in the absence of any other metadata guidelines in this area at the time, to just follow what they had done as it seemed sensible.
Hope that helps.
Mike

Subject: Metadata, enumeration & pagination
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?
