Record dates in the ISO 8601 extended format, i.e. YYYY-MM-DD. Dates may be truncated to a month (YYYY-MM) or a year (YYYY). Dates are not linked to any particular name in the record. Dates in the "usage dates" field will display to the public, while those in the field labeled "Dates" do not. The "Dates" field corresponds to field 943 and is known as Dates of activity. In batch loads it often designates a decade, e.g. "201." for the decade 2010-2019 and may be related to the dates of works, etc., from and about the organization. The "Usage dates" field corresponds to field 970 and is known as Dates of the identity; for organizations this may be the dates a body was formed or went out of existence.
