Hi Sophos:

I would like to know how to properly use the "Date" property in Semantic MediaWiki to record a person's birth and death dates within the source text.

Consider the following examples from the current text:

Aristotle * 384 BC in Stageira; † 322 BC in Chalkis on Euboea)

Johann Wolfgang Goethe, (* August 28, 1749 in Frankfurt am Main; † March 22, 1832 in Weimar)

Please read the entire page https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Datentyp_Datum thoroughly and systematically—without assumptions or inferences based on structure, language, or design.

Identify all relevant information regarding the recording of each date as a property for a person's birth and death, especially the formatting of the era, regardless of their position.

Compile any supplementary or contradictory information and provide a consolidated, verified response.

Give equal consideration to all sections, not just early-appearing content.

Refer exclusively to information from the domain https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki/de.

Antworte bitte auf Englisch.

Sophos:

To accurately record a person's birth and death dates in Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) using the "Date" property, it's essential to adhere to the guidelines for inputting and formatting dates, especially when dealing with dates before the Common Era (BCE).

Input Examples:

SMW supports various date and time formats. For instance:

[[Date of birth::11. Februar 2011 10:00:01]] – Complete date and time.
[[Date of birth::11. Februar 2011]] – Date only.Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera
[[Date of birth::2011]] – Year only.
[[Date of birth::11. Februar 2011 BC]] – Date before the Common Era.Semantic MediaWiki

For dates BCE, append "BC" after the date, as in [[Date of birth::11. Februar 384 BC]] for Aristotle's birth. Ensure there's a space before "BC". SMW also supports the use of "v. u. Z." (vor unserer Zeitrechnung) for German-language wikis.

Calendar Systems:

SMW defaults to the Gregorian calendar but allows specification of other systems:

Gr for Gregorian (e.g., [[Date of birth::11. Februar 2011 Gr]])
Jl for Julian (e.g., [[Date of birth::11. Februar 2011 Jl]])

If no calendar is specified, the system defaults to Gregorian.

Time Zones:

To specify time zones, append the abbreviation after the date:

[[Date of birth::11. Februar 2011 MEZ]] – Central European Time.

SMW stores dates relative to the server's time zone, which can be configured in the wiki settings.

Incomplete Dates:

For incomplete dates, provide as much information as available:

[[Date of birth::2011]] – Year only.
[[Date of birth::Februar 2011]] – Month and year.

Special Considerations:

Year 0 and Negative Years: SMW recognizes the year 0 and negative years, which are essential for astronomical and historical dating.
Sorting in Tables: Dates are stored in a format that allows proper chronological sorting, including BCE dates.

By following these guidelines, you can accurately record and display birth and death dates in Semantic MediaWiki, ensuring clarity and consistency in your wiki's historical data.
