For OOS records, display temporal extent #38

From Jennifer Patterson -

For the OOS time varying data sets it may be more useful to display (in the catalog results) the temporal extent gmd:EX_TemporalExtent instead of the date published. For example for an example data set our date published is back in 2013 and the temporal range spans from 2013 to today.

If this is a thorny problem, I think we can forego changes at this time because most abstracts include temporal extent. Some examples.

Since temporal extent is an uncommon attribute this sounds like a special case situation that needs to be handled in a generic way, so that we can readily incorporate others in the future. Approach would be to add temporal extent as an attribute to look for with every record and display if it is found, otherwise don't display it at all. We don't want to see 'not available' for records that don't have it.
