Mark Diggory commented on DSCR-23:
----------------------------------
The challenge is that the ISO standard for the value of those DSpace Dublin
Core metadata fields does not support the syntax you describe, So storing your
dates in that form is slightly inappropriate. The current approach does
breakup existing dates to extract the year from them.
http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime I understand the need/want to have date
ranges to express the uncertainty around a date, but I suggest that we look at
extending DSpace to support something like dc.coverage.temporal where using a
encoded Dublin Core Period scheme would capture all the detail around such a
date range:
http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-period/
http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#terms-temporal
Then parsing such values would be more logical and the name provides a detail
where the range could be expressed as "uncertain creation date".

>
> For circa dates, question marks are used. Eg: c.1978 -> 1978? or c.1970s ->
> 197?
> Currently discovery handles the 1978? dates fine, but treats 197? as 197.
> This patch either removes the question mark if the year has four digits
> (1978?), and replaces the question marks with '0' if there are less then 4
> digits (197?).
