Hello!
I've re-read the EDTF specification and the BNF.
In this e-mail, I suggest some small changes or clarifications to the
specification.
The BNF need more work and I plan to describe that later (not in this
e-mail).
#302
> uncertain month
uncertain year and month
or
uncertain yearMonth
to avoid confusions with the following #3021.
#305
I suggest to add an hyphen before the month.
> (2004)?06-11
(2004)?-06-11
# 315
I suggest to remove the single quotes.
> '156u-12-25'
156u-12-25
#301..#315 section 3 - column for syntax:
> It could be because the date has not been assigned, or because it is classified,
It could be because (this part of) the date has not been assigned, or because it is unclassified,
#317 In the column "examples", we read
> All of the years
In the column "syntax", we read:
> "all the years",
without "of".
#3171
> 1956-1958
1956..1958
#325 - I would suggest to clarify how we propose to store that in XML attributes
#Annex
> Volatile / dynamic dates
I assume we mean "deictic dates" and, in this case, I would suggest to use
the word "deictic" for clarity. Otherwise, the reader may wonder what kind
of "nearly-deicitc" but "non-diectic" thing we mean here.
#Annex
The syntax used for the season qualifier in the annex does not match the
syntax we agreed upon and which is used in #331.
Miscellaneous thought:
- The expression "a profile of and an extension to" reminds me of "narrowed extended".
Regards!
