Hi Joseph,

this is normal behavior. You are not able to enter a year like 20?? in 
the submission form in a date field.  But you're able to have (which you 
shouldn't) date like that by editing the item or importing it.

Thanks Claudia,
I should have mentioned that no 20?? dates appear in the
metadatavalue.text_value field, so I'm wondering where they went -- has
something happened in the transfer from input to database, or is that normal
behaviour? We are using DSpace 1.4.2.

Hi Joseph,

the date will be stored in the mangled form. So if you got an item with 
dc.date.issued= 20?? imported or created a mangled date via editing an 
item, it will lead to some problems
- it will not be displayed properly in default item display
- it will not appear in browse lists
and so on.

At the moment there is no metadata type to represent "fuzzy" dates, or 
something like 123 b.c ... For the time being it might be best to create 
an own metadata field for it and not use it as date type.

Hope that helps

Claudia Jürgen

Hello all,

I'm reviewing our metadata input and would like to know if anyone knows what
happens to 'mangled dates'? We had been putting years in like 20?? When
unsure of the exact publication date and I've found the following in the
logs:

2008-07-31 12:26:53,293 WARN  org.dspace.content.DCDate @ Mangled date: 20??
Exception: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "20??"

How does DSpace handle this error-- what happens to the date?
What do others do to represent unknown dates?

Many thanks,

Joseph Greene
