If the clip is one of multiple clips that together do not form a complete work:

dc:date

searchable=no

hidden=yes

Date of creation of the original resource.

Reflects the date in the "Date" field.

Express all dates, including date ranges, using Library of Congress' Extended Date Time Format.

Most recent version of EDTF available at https://www.loc.gov/standards/datetime/.

Six formats are recommended for values in Date, each corresponding to a specific EDTF format:

If the value of Date is YYYY, enter YYYY.

If the value of Date is YYYY?, enter YYYY?

If the value of Date is [month] DD, YYYY, enter YYYY-MM-DD.

If the value of Date is [month], YYYY, enter YYYY-MM.

If the value of Date is between YYYY and YYYY, enter YYYY/YYYY

If the value of Date is between YYYY and YYYY?, enter YYYY?/YYYY?

If the value of Date is not any of the above, consult the EDTF spedification to determine the appropriate notation.

Date-Edtf value should agree with dates values entered in Date and Dates fields.

Examples:

If the Date field = "1940" then Date EDTF = "1940"

If the Date field = "1910?" then Date EDTF = "1910?"

If Date field = "May 9, 2001" then Date EDTF = "2001-05-09"

If Date field = "January 2008" then Date EDTF = "2008-01"

If Date field = "between 1930 and 1939" then Date EDTF = "1930/1939"

If Date field = "between 1855 and 1999?" then Date EDTF = "1855?/1999?"

Date value should agree with date values entered in Date-Edtf and Dates fields.

If the date when the image/resource in hand was produced is known, and is different from that of the original image, so note in the Notes field.

If the date is unknown, enter an approximate date using one of the two above formats that express uncertainty, namely YYYY? or between YYYY and YYYY?.

If none of the date formats above are adequate, use a custom date format.

Examples:

1953

ca. 1953
