dc.date needs to be in a specific format for NeatlineTime to accept. Need to attach to the field a js parser to "help" users enter a correct timestamp. See moment_js branch for inclusion of http://momentjs.com/. Date follow http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime with spans separated by '/' character. Basically is ISO 8601,

Examples:

* Closed date range: 1949/1954-01-01
* Date range with unknown start: /2012-01-04T19:49:39
* Date range with kno end date: 1977-06-03/

Do we need to do anything on the backend differently for SIMILE? May need to mask this a bit if there are differences between the dc.date format and Timeline format.
