#A.31.IR25.resource.creation.date

Purpose: It must be discoverable when the described resource was created.

Prerequisites

• A.01.validate must be passed

Test method

Check that at least one Creation date exists. Is it does, pass the test. Otherwise fail the test.

Reference(s)

• TG MD 2.6.4, TG Requirement 25
• IR MD, Part B 5.4

Test type: Automated

Notes

• It's not clear either of the code list values creation or publication is enough to pass the test. The table in TG MD chapter 2.6.4 contains the code publication on the row "ISO/TS 19139 path", but on the other hand the example XML snippet provided uses the value creation.
