Hello all,
we allow the user to associate a point in time with any
document in our archive. This field is later used for quick
visual selection of the relevant documents a doctor is
looking for, eg "8/2001 neurological discharge letter" where
the "8/2001" is the part coming from the date field.
Currently, this field is free text such as not to constrain
whatever precision of date is known, eg 2001, 8/2001,
2001/8/27, 2001/8/27 @ 15:22:33 are all possible inputs.
However, "total crap" is valid input, too, currently, which
does not lend itself to useful post-processing.
Making it a real timestamp isn't really an option due to
medical realities.
I am not sure about the stability of Ian's attempt at a
fuzzy timestamp type.
So, what do people think we should allow as input in terms
of string parsing. I am thinking of (d=digit):
dddd - year
d/dddd or dd/dddd - month/year
dddd/dd/dd - year/month/day
dddd/dd/dd hh:mm:ss - year/month/day hour:minutes:seconds
Do you think this will suffice ?
Karsten
