Hello:

I've notice that when transforming from MODS to DC the <dateIssued> and
<dateCreated> elements don't seem to be getting populated in the DC. Has
anyone else encountered this issue ? I modified the style sheet at
http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/v3/MODS3-4_DC_XSLT1-0.xsl 
and included this pair of templates to output dates represented in the
/mods:originInfo and /mods:relatedItem/mods:originInfo xpaths.  

<xsl:template match="mods:relatedItem[mods:originInfo]">
    <dc:date>
        <xsl:for-each select="mods:originInfo/mods:dateCreated |
mods:originInfo/mods:dateIssued |                       
mods:originInfo/mods:dateCaptured | mods:originInfo/mods:dateOther">
              <xsl:if test="normalize-space(.)!= ''">
                    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
               </xsl:if>
         </xsl:for-each>
       </dc:date>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="mods:originInfo[mods:dateCreated | mods:dateIssued
| mods:dateCaptured | mods:dateOther]">
    <dc:date>
        <xsl:for-each select="mods:dateCreated | mods:dateIssued |
mods:dateCaptured | mods:dateOther">
            <xsl:if test="normalize-space(.)!= ''">
                <xsl:value-of select="."/>
            </xsl:if>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </dc:date>
</xsl:template>

If anyone would like to test/confirm this as well I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Donald
