This is a follow-up question to biblatex format for online sources. I have the following biblatex configuration file. Thanks to Guido for the inputs. I have also taken some code for the \MakeSentenceCase from Audrey's answer to Sentence case for titles in biblatex.

Now, consider the following MWE:
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage[style=authoryear,backend=biber]{biblatex}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@online{kruse,
author = {John S. Kruse},
title = {Framework for Sustainable Soil Management: Literature Review and Synthesis},
year = {2007},
url = {http://www.swcs.org/documents/filelibrary/BeyondTliteraturereview.pdf},
publisher= {Soil and Water Conservation Society},
location={Ankeny (IA)},
urldate = {2008-08-03},
medium = {Internet},
}
@online{cois,
author={},
title = {Canadian Soil Information Service},
medium = {Internet},
location = {Ottawa (ON)},
publisher = {Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada},
urldate = {2010-06-30},
url = {http://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/},
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
For the first bibliography entry, I want to be able to put a field urlupdate in my .bib file which maps to the extradate field. I want to be able to use the extradate field to come up with something like
Canadian soil information service [Internet]. 2010. Ottawa (ON): Agriculture and Agri‐Food Canada; [updated 2010 May 19; cited 2010 June 30]. Available from: http://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/
when urlupdate is declared and
Canadian soil information service [Internet]. 2010. Ottawa (ON): Agriculture and Agri‐Food Canada; [cited 2010 June 30]. Available from: http://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/
when it is not.
The answer must be somewhere in the biblatex manual but it is very hard to look for it. I have been at this problem for the past 2 hours.
