Technical Definition

Provides the date range, in either years or full dates, of the publication. It does so without date or other restrictions and should be considered to refer to the newspaper as defined by ontological subcategory normalised title. There are three variants, the dates included in the collection (collection range), those that to our knowledge existed (full range), and all the individual days, months and years of publication.

Newspaper start date and end date provide the full ISO date for the publication’s first and last issue. Instantiations are divided into container elements, which hold no specific data, and attributes or specific elements, which hold the year, month and day separately.

Category Notes

These fields are uncommon; more usually, only the date for the specific issue is given. Start and end dates only appear in B1JI. URI for Dublin Core property ‘issued’: dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-terms/2012-06-14/?v=terms#issued.

Individual Collection Notes

B1GL: Several date ranges can be listed, separated by a semicolon. Refers to the digitised holdings, rather than the newspaper’s actual run.

B1JI: Several date ranges can be listed, separated by a semicolon. The start and end date refer to a specific alternate title for this newspaper and only to the digitised holdings, rather than the newspaper’s actual run.

DEMP: The ddd:yearsDigitized field refers only to years of publication held in the “Databank Digitale Dagbladen” collection.

HNDM: All the individual days, months and years of publication are listed.
