The Encoded Archival Standards: Best Practice Guide is a resource that describes and provides explanations and examples of complex encodings and concepts in EAC-CPF and EAD. Created and maintained by SAA TS-EAS, the guide is intended to be a living resource that will be built on and developed over time.
Text: This feature request follows https://github.com/SAA-SDT/eas-schemas/issues/114. While it was decided to keep @notBefore and @notAfter when used with normalised dates following ISO 8601 restricted to single dates only, it also was suggested to pick this up in the BPG by extending the examples for date encodings to illustrate cases such as the following:
<date notBefore="1701">not before the 18th century</date>
<dateRange><fromDate notBefore="1720">not before the 1720s</fromDate><toDate notAfter="1759">not after the 1750s</toDate></dateRange>
