Use Case Title Deprecate the element "Credential Issuance Date"

Use Case Description There are three elements related to a credential award date in CEDS - Credential Issuance Date, Credential Award Start Date and Credential Award End Date. The suggestion is to deprecate Credential Issuance Date and leave Credential Award Start Date and Credential Award End Date in their current location.

• Credential Issuance Date definition: The year, month and day on which an active credential was issued to a person.
• Credential Award Start Date definition: The date on which the achievement was conferred.
• Credential Award End Date definition: The date, if any, on which the award or achievement expires or requires renewal.

Use Case Background The element definitions all relate to a credential award date and they exist in 3 different CEDS domains. This could be confusing to the user when determining which element to select and/or which domain to select it from. The suggestion is to deprecate Credential Issuance Date from the domain entity schema and leave Credential Award Start Date and Credential Award End Date available for selection from the Credentials domain.

Location of Element in the Domain Entity Schema Credential Issuance Date: Early Learning -> EL Staff -> Credential or License (and) K12 -> K12 Staff -> Credential or License Credential Award Start Date: Credentials -> Credential Award Credential Award End Date: Credentials -> Credential Award
