Not sure the best way to represent these. I think the problem was that some were from June and some were from August, and I couldn't figure out from their metadata which were which. I could split the difference and say "2013-07", or just "2013"?
Not sure if it's worth it, but you could introduce a "season" field if this happens often enough and make date a year.

Unless/until a 'season' field seems obviously useful, you might follow this suggestion of doing whatever you need to do to keep date as a well defined format, which here might be setting it to the year, and using a general-purpose 'notes' field to record that the sample is from June or August
When parsing in
metadata_samples.json
, I've noticed some of the date are not parseable bydatetime.date
, e.g.:It would be nice if these were standardized in some way, either as valid
date
s or in some other way I can parse and connect to the prevalence data.
