Property:Has publication year
From Landrace.wiki
More actions
The primary year of publication of a source, as a sortable date.
Property:Has publication date is Text, because a source's publication statement is often not a single date — 1719 (folio); 1745 (abridged reprint). This property carries the one year the source sorts and filters on, leaving the full statement to be displayed as written.
Where a work was issued over several years, use the first. Where a manuscript was composed long before it was printed, this is the printing; composition belongs on Property:Has composition date.
