Date entities #46

Closed CvetanaJK closed 4 years ago

CvetanaJK commented 4 years ago

I wonder how do we treat date entities. I have cases like time period (1832-1834), years (1883 godine), cenuries (VII veka). Since we don't have a special category for them I treated "godina" (year), "vek" (century) as "otherEntity" but it does not look very informative. What would be solution for this?

I'm afraid you'll have to treat them as otherEntities, indeed... sniff... I pleaded the case for adding some "time" columns a few months ago, but the preliminary study showed that this category is not that much represented over the collections, so it just added lots of columns for little information gain - we've cut it.
