CW: Date ranges in GBIF
A longstanding issue with the #GBIF API is the interpretation and formatting of the #DarwinCore term "eventDate".
Instead of GBIF changing published eventDate values like 2009-03-18/2009-04-13 and 2010 to 2009-03-18 and 2010-01-01 respectively, we propose returning the values 2009-03-18/2009-04-13 and 2010 in the occurrence API and in downloads.
Existing code/scripts that use the #eventDate value may need to be updated.
