Note

The batch ingest process currently ignores a keyDate attribute set by users when preparing metadata as MODS XML. Instead, the system will create a new machine-readable date element with a keyDate attribute based on dateIssued or dateCreated (in this order and depending on which of the two is available). Any user-provided keyDate attribute will be stripped from the metadata upon ingest.

If you want to designate a specific date element as the key date in metadata prepared for batch ingest, add the following attribute-value pair to the respective element: keyGen="yes".

originInfo/dateIssued[@keyDate="yes"]

  • approximate
