Adam, here is a recently posted page that might be even better: https://www.loc.gov/standards/datetime/edtf.html
Generally speaking though, a few words of introduction on fuzzy dates and some pointers, e.g. that the data type in Arches can be found as 'edtf', and also some examples of what values can be entered, would be most helpful. I just discovered that using dates like 'Early 2nd Century' actually works well together with the time wheel! Quite impressive, that's a great feature. Now if only I could get periods B.C. to work... But I understand we can't have everything :) On Friday, 7 September 2018 19:06:22 UTC+2, Adam Cox wrote: > > Vincent, the in-app help on the graph tab of the graph designer has a > section called "Default Data Types" which includes a link to this page > https://www.loc.gov/standards/datetime/ in the edtf row.
