Field 046
It is not clear why field 046 (Special coded dates) is ignored in bib records when there is a specification for conversion in authority records. At a minimum, the same spec can be used in bib records for subfields k and l.
We would like to see subfield o (single or starting date for aggregated content) and subfield p (ending date for aggregated content) included. When a work is an aggregate, the specs for subfields k and l work for o and p as well. It should be relatively easy to include this in the conversion program.
Oops, I was wrong about subfields o and p. bf:temporalCoverage is a better property for them.
Conversion of 046 $m and $n was included in marc2bibframe v2.5 Still working an option for 046 $o and $p
