Issue 12219
Add the "published year" field on the dataset citation

Type: Improvement
Summary: Add the "published year" field on the dataset citation
Description: A dataset citation should include a "published year". The majority of our datasets do not have their "pubDate" attr (Dataset API object) populated. Besides this attribute, we have available the date on which the Dataset was registered into the GBIF Registry, but this is not a good published date and might cause trouble with publishers. Another proposal was to include the "last indexed date" here. But still needs discussion.

Comment: I would use the supplied eml pubDate if available or otherwise fallback to our last harvested/download date. We should make sure to not update that date if the sources have not been modified since, e.g. if a conditional http dwca download results in unchanged. For digir style query services its hard to tell I guess, but maybe we can even detect if no record has changed at all during indexing?
