output of dates in a standardized format #7

would be great to get date of birth and death in a standardized date format, like YYYY-MM-DD. Of course only in cases where a transformation can take place. Assignments like "19th century" should be untouched.

An output in an easy date format would reduce efforts in subsequent match routines.

Wouldn't it make more sense to make such normalisations with Metamorph?

if you can offer a standard method for date normalisation it would be great, if every user has to develop such methods by himself no.

so +1 for date normalisations function in metamorph. Please make sure that DIN5008 date type are part of the solution.
