19131998

19131998 is a numeric string formed by the concatenation of two four-digit years, 1913 and 1998. In written or data contexts it can appear as a compact representation of a time-related concept, but it is not a standard notation by itself. Its meaning depends on accompanying context, and without it the string is ambiguous.

One common interpretation is a lifespan. In biographical entries, a person born in 1913 and who died in 1998 would typically be shown as 1913–1998, using a dash to indicate a range. When written without separators, 19131998 often signals a data encoding or a formatting inconsistency rather than conventional prose.

Another interpretation is a time span. The sequence from 1913 to 1998 can denote the duration of a movement, organization, project, or study that covers both years. It may also represent two notable years within a broader discussion, separated by many intervening events and developments.

In data management, 19131998 can function as an identifier or code, such as a file name, catalog number, or archive ID, where the digits are intended for machine processing rather than human readability. In such cases, the lack of delimiter clarifies that the string serves as an internal reference rather than a narrative date.

Context is essential for correct interpretation. In standard writing, it is preferable to use 1913–1998 for a lifespan or a clearly defined period, with explicit explanation of what the years signify.
