library date parsing

I have an idea stuck in my memory that OCLC wrote a Java-based date
parsing library long ago (that parses all the library world's strange
date formats).  My search-fu seems to be weak, though, because I don't
seem to be able to Google/find it.  Was it just a crazy dream or does
anyone know what I'm talking about (and how to find it)?

Thanks,
Kevin
