Just checked the language data commons mode and datePublished has the type Date:
"id": "http://schema.org/datePublished",
"name": "datePublished",
"help": "The (earliest) date the collection protocol was published.",
"type": [
"Date"
],
"multiple": false
Default simple RO-Crate mode has instances of both Text and Date types for datePublished. Do those all need to be updated to Text?
And in the guideline under Objects, this is the wording per Wolfgang that lines up more with the Date type: The date the object was published. The date will be converted in Crate-O to ISO 8601 format, e.g. Wed Jun 12 2024 10:00:00 GMT+1000 (Australian Eastern Standard Time).
The spreadsheet Root tab should include a
datePublished
column, with data type of the col set toText
, and an example date inyyyy-mm-dd
format (eg2024-09-04
). This is a default requirement of RO-Crate.Please also include info about datePublished in user guide, explaining that the cell type needs to be Text so that the tooling doesn't interpret the value as a date and do timezone conversion and other wacky things. The datePublished is typically the date that the crate was made.
