This works in many cases, but I would suggest to make more obvious the
bipartite nature of such a record, such as:
first published in: 2003
publication still ongoing during: 2011
each of which could (when needed) also be given the possibility of a
record last updated: some-date
through the design of the metadata model, which would make obvious which
part was updated when.
For the user (patron or librarian or someone else), the combined use of
"first published in" and "publication still ongoing during" may be easier
or faster to understand than the consequences of different values in
"record last updated" and "record last checked".
Regards!
