Hello, I'm new to MODS and looking for some guidance.
Our collections have a lot of dates with ranges and qualifiers, which our current platform doesn't display fully or in a user-friendly way.
It has been suggested to me to put a user-friendly formatted date in the <dateOther> element that would be used for display.  I see there's a <displayForm> for name (which we're also planning on using this way), but I don't see this as analogous from reading the element description.  I'm wondering if you've ever done this, and what your reactions are to the proposal.
Thank you.
Deena
