Hey, @abian. Those are very valid and concerns, and we really appreciate you sharing them! We are aware that unfortunately some current issues will also be reproduced by the new application (e.g. querying for a specific date like 01-01-2021 will result in false positives, since 2021 with precision year will also be retrieved). In the context of the Query Builder, users will only be able to enter specific dates, and precision will be interpreted based on their input (we are yet to define how some values – e.g. years only – would be translated into SPARQL. This might be the key to alleviate some of the inherent issues with dates?). This data type is definitely a tricky one, and we wouldn't like to proceed being unaware of big problems. Since you seem to really have a deep understanding of the issue and its consequences, it'd be great if you'd be up for a chat?
