timespan for next release #20

Closed HedvigS closed 12 months ago

HedvigS commented 12 months ago

Could the glottolog languoid attribute "timespan" be included in future glottolog-cldf releases?

looks handy!

HedvigS commented 12 months ago

Hold on, Is "First_Year_Of_Documentation" and "Last_Year_Of_Documentation" in glottolog-cldf's LanguageTable the timespan information? Or is this another kind of time information separate from what Harald calls "timespan"?

HedvigS commented 12 months ago

I think they may be the same thing, the more I look at what I got from Harald and what's in the LangugeTable already. I didn't understand the description. First when I read "The first year that an extinct languoid was documented " I thought it was referring to publication dates rather than dates when the languoid was documented to be in use.

It is, see https://github.com/glottolog/glottolog-cldf/blob/776f818e68b31922d65a134b4642f88e4db06e94/cldfbench_glottolog.py#L222-L240

Alright, all good then. Now I know where to look.

Yep I found that later. I didn't know they were related, I was looking for the word "timespan" that I had seen Harald use. I hadn't noticed those columns before, but now I know :)
