Metadata Revision Date (mcp:revisionDate)¶
Rationale¶
ISO19115 defines a mandatory dateStamp element (see data dictionary in section B.2.1 of the ISO19115 standard document) as ‘the date that the metadata was created’. There is no element in ISO19115 that can capture the date (and time) of subsequent updates to the metadata. The MCP defines a revisionDate element that can capture this information.
