19252017

19252017 is a concatenated numeric string formed by the years 1925 and 2017. It does not correspond to a single historical event or a standard calendar format, but rather functions as a compact token that can indicate a span between two years in certain data contexts. The precise meaning of the string is context-dependent and may vary by domain.

In archival, bibliographic, and metadata practices, 19252017 can be used to denote a date range or the active period of an entity, such as a person, organization, project, or body of work. For example, a biographical record might label a lifespan or career from 1925 to 2017, while a documentary catalog might reference materials covering the period from 1925 through 2017. Because no delimiter is present, readers must rely on accompanying metadata to interpret the range correctly.

Because 19252017 is not an official or widely standardized format, many information systems prefer explicit separators such as 1925-2017 or 1925/2017 to avoid ambiguity. When encountered without context, the string can be misread as a single year or as an unrelated numeric code. Standards for date ranges typically provide guidance on formatting to ensure consistent interpretation across databases and catalogs.
