Apologies for reopening this issue, but can one explain the rationale behind dct:issued as a mandatory property? 

I agree that it's important to know when the catalog was last modified, especially if a data broker/aggregator is in place, but I do not understand why the release date of the catalog is equally important. I would suggest moving release date (dct:issued) from mandatory to recommended or optional.

Consideration    

Release date for Catalog is already recommended which seems to satisfy the proposal.

 

Proposed resolution    

No change is necessary.

 

Proposed action  

No change to the specification.
