• Full Text: Sometimes the metadata of a dataset is changed. This may be due to the correction of the metadata, metadata elements added, or any other reason. If these changes do not change the bitstream of a dataset manifestation, a change in the metadata does not constitute a new version. In short: a change in the catalogue entry does not constitute a new work.
