METADATA: Add metadata dates for datacite #119

Open agy-why opened 1 year ago

agy-why commented 1 year ago

Datacite suggests a large variety of possible dates:

https://schema.datacite.org/meta/kernel-4.4/doc/DataCite-MetadataKernel_v4.4.pdf

See Table 6.

Daiquiri currently uses two: ISSUED and UPDATED.

ISSUED for the publication of the data UPDATED for the last update of the data

However two further dates maybe interresting to consider:

CREATED: the date at which data was created (as a dataset) COLLECTED: the date at which the data was generated, observed...

In most cases ISSUED and CREATED are the same: date at which dataset was made publically available, however in case of data retention, this maybe different and meaningful to provide:

CREATED: date at which data was privately published ISSUED: date at which data was publicly published

As for the COLLECTED date this is mostly of interests for the scientist.
