ISO19139 requires a publication date for a named thesaurus. But this does not seem to be expressible in EML.

Message sent to eml-dev list (eml-dev@ecoinformatics.org), 12 April 2013: Subject: adding publication date property to keywordSet Both EML and ISO19115 provide fields for keywords and the name/title of associated thesaurus. However, if the thesaurus name is provided, in the case, of ISO19115, a publication date must also be included. In order to ensure maximum information transfer in cross walks from EML to the new North American Profile of ISO19115 [1], consider adding a conditional date (and date type) property to the EML keywordSet. See example in [2]. [1] http://nap.geogratis.gc.ca/metadata/napMetadata-eng.html [2] http://nap.geogratis.gc.ca/metadata/examples/napEx1.xml |
