Hi Demian,
since I have replaced SolrMarc with my own SolrPica, I can only post my
thoughts:
To your questions:
1. 1500 looks for my like a plausibility check. Invented by a computer
scientist, not by an archivist.
2.
a) At HeBIS, within our SolrPica the plausibility check is: "from 500 to
3000".
b) The German Index (GVI) (has no VuFind, but it is using SolrMarc)
imports with no validation at all.
(The German consortium BSZ uses the GVI in Boss3 (VuFind-Fork) as Index)
3.
Some libraries holds handwriting from the 7th century or even older.
With the digitalization we get a lot of scans with the publish date of
the original writing. So I vote for getting rid of this limitation.
4.
You should consider a distinction between searching (publish_date) and
sorting (publish_date_sort).
* publish_date_sort has to be unique and needs to be unified.
Normalisation and validation seems to be handy.
* publish_date should be multi valued. E.g. journals are published not
only in their first or last year. A validation may hide relevant hits.
Just my two cents
Uwe
