originInfo can be used for all kinds of stuff, but in this collection it's only used for the date created.
A simple use case:
<originInfo>
<dateCreated encoding="w3cdtf" keyDate="yes" qualifier="approximate">1891</dateCreated>
</originInfo>
A date range use case:
./mp028/0655.mets: <originInfo>
./mp028/0655.mets- <dateCreated encoding="w3cdtf" keyDate="yes" point="start" qualifier="approximate">1860</dateCreated>
./mp028/0655.mets- <dateCreated encoding="w3cdtf" point="end" qualifier="approximate">1880</dateCreated>
./mp028/0655.mets: </originInfo>
Note the "approximate" qualifier in both of the above cases.
There's also unknown, which I think we could ignore; it's not even dateCreated just dateOther.
./mp043/1330.mets: <originInfo>
./mp043/1330.mets- <dateOther>Unknown</dateOther>
./mp043/1330.mets: </originInfo>
Need feedback on how to import approximate dates. and approximate date ranges.
Alexis confirmed that we need to retain this qualifier.
Anna [1:59 PM] We don't currently have a way to encode that in figgy so I'll need to implement something. We are thinking free text when it's just a single date like "approximately 2019" and an "approximate" toggle for date ranges.
Alexis A. [2:00 PM] that seems fine to me. we often use approximate or circa for dates when we know it's say, from the 1880s, but don't know the exact year
https://figgy.princeton.edu/catalog/a3d75c94-2eee-47b7-b193-3b09eb9b13e7 ingest of approx. dates/date ranges still needed.
All of these grounds and buildings should be converted to ScannedResources with EAD Component IDs, yeah? At which point I think we can close this as won't fix.
Yea, since its finding aid material, but I'm looking at the records in figgy and cannot find a component id in the metadata. I find the location (example: Mudd, Box MP45, Item 1474). how can this information be mapped to the component ids in the FA/vice versa? Assuming this will be similar to the WA collection Cliff Just migrated? Please forgive my ignorance on this.
We'll have to find some sort of piece of correlating metadata between the MODS and EAD. I haven't looked super close.
I can do that.
Closing this ticket since the dates will be handled as part of #2021.
