The current (frequently changing) plan is to map all current fields into Collectionspace. The datetype and dateextent fields (see above) from the current system describe two sets of strings which are used to help the user generate a display text. By mapping these to the 'certainty' and 'qualifier' fields we can present the user with the expected user interface when editing data. It remains to be seen if this constitutes misuse of the CS schema.
Below are some examples. Note: This mapping is probably based on a misunderstanding of the CS schema especially the earliest/latest dates, which here a interpreted as 'eariest/latest possible' dates.
Globus Group | CS Date Information representation | Example data |

| > Date - latest certainty |
|
| > Date - latest qualifier |
