19232006

19232006 is an eight-digit numeral that can function as a label or data string in various contexts. The most common interpretation in biographical or historical writing is as a birth year and death year, i.e., 1923 to 2006. In proper typography the range is usually written with an en dash (1923–2006) or a hyphen (1923-2006).

When presented without separators, the string is often used as an identifier in databases, cataloging systems, filenames, or project codes. In such uses, the digits do not necessarily correspond to a life span and may encode other information or be a random key.

Disambiguation and parsing: To determine meaning, systems rely on metadata such as a field label (birth-death, years active), or data type constraints. If context indicates a date range, algorithms may split the string into 1923 and 2006; otherwise it should be treated as a single token.

In archival and bibliographic practice, standard date ranges follow guidelines of style guides; concatenated forms are usually discouraged for readability and clarity.
