Wrong date for entry saved from Informa Healthcare

Dear Zotero,

It looks like you got the wrong date here:

http://informahealthcare.com/doi/abs/10.3109/08039489109103294

The date should be 1991, but you tell me it is 2009. Why?

I am even using Zotero 2.1.10 in Firefox 7.0.1 which should be the most correct version so far.

Note point 5.) here:
http://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues
it's data embedded by the site.

So it looks like the site gives this tag which Zotero is using the tag:

<meta name="dc.Date" scheme="WTN8601" content="2009-07-12"></meta>

Is this tag incorrect or? (Is there some kind of standard for those type of html meta-tags?)

What information do publishers generally provide? What should they do to be able to be used by Zotero?

BTW, there are citation download links from the site.

generally, this applies:
http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/exposing_metadata
and yes, that's a date provided in so called Dublin Core RDF format, which is a standard that Zotero recognizes.

So there is an error on that web page: the meta-tag is incorrectly used, or?

as far as I can tell - maybe the article was posted online in 2009.

Thanks adamsmith. I have notified them about this discussion.
