Jennifer Trant said (wisely),
>The greatest challenge in the application of the Dublin Core is finding
ways to describe the content of 'document like objects' that result from a
conversion to digital form. This is further complicated when the digital
'version' derives from a surrogate for the original work.<
The use of the term "issued" is intended to get at just this set of
distinctions. Combined with some indication of surrogateness, it does the
job. --pg
