PLEASE NO! - this would really be mixing things up badly. Correct me if I'm wrong, but: DATE refers to the instantiation of the *resource* (and SOURCE where the resource can be found), whereas COVERAGE refers to the domain of the *content* (both time and space). As discussed before, these are semantically distinct (though in a few application domains DATE may be used to deduce COVERAGE.date merely because the content is necessarily "current" and therefore closely tied to the time the resource is issued/created). -- __________________________________________________ Dr Simon Cox - Australian Geodynamics Cooperative Research Centre CSIRO Exploration & Mining, PO Box 437, Nedlands, WA 6009 Australia T: +61 8 9389 8421 F: +61 8 9389 1906 [log in to unmask] http://www.ned.dem.csiro.au/SimonCox
