Hi Ivo, the difference between the act:issued/modified and fdp-o:metadataIssued/metadataModified properties is that the former properties are about the entity being described (e.g., Dataset, Catalog, DataService, etc.) and the latter refer to information about the metadata record, i.e., metadata about the metadata. This is normally automatic entered by the FDP reference implementation.
We are planning to modify this in the upcoming versions to have more explicitly the metadata record and the meta-metadata record.
It seems to me that this is redundant? I've checked two example FDPs, and they do implement both the
dct
as well as thefdp
properties for catalogs, even though the values are the same. Rajaram's example GitHub FDP only uses thefdp
fields for the catalog. I'll skip thedct
fields in my implementation as well, which is allowed according to the specs, but I thought I'd report this regardless.
