[OAI-implementers] Granularity in Identity and Responses

[Stuart Lewis [sdl]]

Dear all,

Thanks for your replies.

So, to clarify:

1) If in the Identify response <granularity>YYYY-MM-DD</granularity> is
given, the following is invalid:

<ListRecords>
 <record>
  <header>
    <identifier>oai:cadair.aber.ac.uk:2160/24</identifier> 
    <datestamp>2006-07-10T15:21:22Z</datestamp> 
    <setSpec>hdl_2160_22</setSpec> 
 </header>
 ...

Instead datestamp should be 2006-07-10.

2) However, at the top of the response,
<responseDate>2007-03-14T14:41:11Z</responseDate> is expected (rather
than 2007-03-14).

3) The granularity of datestamps in the metadata is not linked to the
granularity of the provider.

Thanks,


Stuart
