[eml-dev] adding publication date property to keywordSet

[Éamonn Ó Tuama [GBIF]]

Both EML and ISO19115 provide fields for keywords and the name/title of
associated thesaurus.  However, if the thesaurus name is provided, in the
case, of ISO19115, a publication date must also be included. In order to
ensure maximum information transfer in cross walks from EML to the new North
American Profile of ISO19115 [1], consider adding a conditional date (and
date type) property to the EML keywordSet. See example in [2].
