  • 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
