Folks:
Q:
How are we handling Hebrew year dates converted to Gregorian "or" year
dates in fields other than the 046? Specifically, I'm creating a record
for someone who was the "President du Tribunal Rabinique, 5700-5710."
Unfortunately, the specific side of the Gregorian divide is not given
for either of these years, thus 5700-5710 recombobulates to 1939 or
1940-1949 or 1950. Per the DCMZ for 046 (which theoretically should be
applicable for other non-046 fields), dates like this should follow edtf
formatting instead of ISO 8601.
374 President du Tribunal Rabinique $s [1939,1940] $t [1949,1950] $2 edtf
Sadly, the $2 is recognized in the 374 as only applying to the $a
portion of the field.
My questions:
1) Since I cannot include $2 edtf, are edtf-style dates forbidden?
2) If "Yes" is the response to #1, then how should the 1939 or
1940-1949-1950 fiasco be expressed?
Thanks in advance,
Befuddled in Berkeley
