[Heb-NACO] $2 edtf in 374

[Heidi G Lerner]

Hi Bob, 

  

I am referring in this e-mail to documentation from PCC "MARC 21 Fields and Codes Chart for Authority Records at-a-glance" and also “MARC 21 encoding to accommodate 046 and 3xx in NARs and SARs 

  

Under 046 field the guidelines for RDA dates in EDTF would 

translate 1939 or 1940 to [1939,1940] 

and 

translate 1949 or 1950 to [1949,1950] 

  

under 374 we have 

$sStart period (entity) 

$tEnd period (entity) 

I think that the string would be  

374 .... $s[1939,1940],$t[1949,1950]$2EDTF 

Best, Heidi

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
