19141979

19141979 is a concatenation of two year numbers that is sometimes used to denote a lifespan or a date range when a separator is omitted. It is most often read as the years 1914 and 1979, commonly representing the life span of an individual born in 1914 and who died in 1979, though the unformatted string by itself does not uniquely identify a person.

In standard biographical notation, lifespans are written with a dash or en dash between the years, for example 1914–1979. The absence of a separator can occur due to typographical limitations, data entry errors, or the use of compact codes in certain databases and filenames.

Because 19141979 lacks disambiguation, it can appear as a code or key in catalogs, archives, or digital records. Without additional context or metadata, it does not serve as a reliable identifier for a specific individual or subject.

Historically, the years 1914 and 1979 bracket a period of significant global change. The era includes World War I, the interwar years, World War II, and much of the Cold War, extending into the late 1970s with continuing political, social, and technological transformations. The string therefore evokes a broad historical frame rather than a particular, well-defined entity.

In information management, 19141979 may function as a fragmented date string, a temporary placeholder, or a cataloging key. Its meaning is determined by surrounding metadata, conventions, and the systems in which it appears.
