^_^ heh... this project gets more /fun/ by the hour... Julian dates...
right, two calenders to deal with... Going to have to work on conversions.
I looked over the Historical Date in Semantic Calender. No, it doesn't
handle time. Also, it to is limited with the float that it uses.
Hmm, rather than an overcomplicated output setup, I'm probably going to
create a small format for outputting. One that works with Gregorian and
Julian bases. Otherwise I'll overload with possible formats of outputs.
Btw... AnyDateTime stores in a ?? notation for things it does not know...
????????????0501?????? would be understood as May 1st. So it can store
just years, a date of the year, just a time, or whatever... Sorting of
course gets strange if you're using weird combinations of data. But
there is no real way to sort those anyways. However this does mean that
May 1st will be sorted before Dec 25th and after April 1st when you are
dealing with dates in the year.

Hi,
You should be aware of the "Historical Date" class, which Temlakos
created sometime last year and which is in use, in truncated form, in
the Semantic Calendar extension; it was also discussed for use on SMW,
though I don't know what happened with that.. I also don't know if
that class handles times.

I'm working on a DateTime library, AnyDateTime. The plan is to have a
library that can cover nearly any possible time or date in history. The
AnyDateTime library has a storage format which uses 22 characters, and sorts
correctly in the database.
The range of possible dates this library can cover is from 99,999,999,999
00:00:00 B.C.E. to 999,999,999,999 23:59:59 C.E.
^_^ So quite simply... it can cover dates all the way from before the Big
Bang, to beyond the time when our sun dies and our planet dies as well, past
the time the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are speculated to collide,
even past the time of the theorized Big Rip. Though I admit, it can't cover
the Degenerate, Black Hole, or Dark eras (those are well into the
trillions).
Quite simply, the idea is to be able to make use of it in Semantic MediaWiki
as an alternative date format. That way it's available for anyone covering
historical dates and such.
