Temporal Properties Example

This example demonstrates how to represent properties that change over time using temporal values.

Key Concepts

  • Temporal Properties: Properties marked with temporal: true can have values that change over time
  • Temporal Value Structure: Can be a single value OR a list of {value, date} objects
  • Date Ranges: Using FamilySearch normalized date format (e.g., "FROM 1870 TO 1890")

Files

  • archive.glx: Single-file archive demonstrating temporal properties

What This Example Shows

  1. How to define temporal properties in vocabularies
  2. How to represent property values that changed over time
  3. How to use date stamps with temporal values
  4. Examples: occupations changing throughout life, residences at different periods, name changes
