Yes, I think once qualifiers are enabled you would just have something like: ... Property(head of local government) ... Value(Elizabeth I) - Qualifier("1558-1603") - Sources() Value(James VI and I) - Qualifier("1603-1625") - Sources() ... ...
There was a discussion about whether qualifiers should have specific datatypes other than just string, but I think we should only do that if needed.
Clearly the example that you gave is one where non-string datatypes are critically important. If you don't know that they're dates, you have no way of telling when they were in those roles.
