[Refdb-users] mods, names, dates

[Bruce D'A. <bd...@fa...>]

Marc wanted to know what the date option does for names in MODS.  
Here's an example:

       <name type="personal">
         <namePart>Lamberton, John Porter</namePart>
         <namePart type="date">1839-1917</namePart>
         <role>
           <roleTerm type="text">joint ed.</roleTerm>
         </role>
         <role>
           <roleTerm authority="marcrelator" type="code">prf</roleTerm>
         </role>
       </name>
