Property:sortdate

From Lexicon Leponticum
Jump to navigationJump to search
Description: Defines the date as a single number by which the item can be sorted automatically.
Type: Number


Format

  • Positive or negative decimal number in years.
  • Concerning sortdate values more accurate than years, the decimal positions are used in the format Y.MMDDhhmmss for convenience (i.e. 1990.0123 for 23 Jan 1990, not 1990 + 22÷365 = 1990.0603 vel sim.).
  • Negative values shall only occur as integer (i.e. without decimal positions), to avoid complications.
  • The value 0 is used for an unknown date.
  • Examples: -300 (for 300 BC), 1893 (for 1893), 1990.12312230 (for 31 Dec 1990, 10:30 p.m.), 0 (for unknown)

Guidelines

for determining the sortdate:

  • If absolute dates are known these are used
  • If approximate dates are known these are used, i.e. , e.g. "c. 250 BC" = -250 or "around the first quarter of the 1st century BC" = -75.
  • If periods of time are known the median point of time should be used, e.g. "4th century BC" = -350 or "125-40 BC" = -82.
