date-type
Type of Date
Event in the lifecycle of a standard that this date is marking, for example, the date
the standards document was published. These values are not standard lifecycle events, such as “amended”.
Used on Elements: <date>, <release-date>
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
Text, numbers, or special characters. | Names a date referring to a single instance of a specific published edition of a standard (single publication of a dated designation). In other words, this names a date in the lifecycle of this standard rather than a type of standard from the standards lifecycle (such as “Addenda”). |
Restriction | This is an optional attribute; there is no default. |
Suggested usage
Although designed to accept any text as its value, the following are
suggested date types:
published | Date on which the particular edition/version of a standard is published |
---|---|
editorial-change | Date of a modification with no changes of technical merit or that require balloting. |
reaffirmed | Date a standard is reaffirmed or reapproved with no technical or substantial
change (redesignation adds to previous, dated designation)
|
stabilized-maintenance | A maintenance date, indicating no change, a previously published standard under ANS
stabilized maintenance (adds to previous dated designation)
|
withdrawn | Date on which a document is no longer a formal standard — may still be available for historical
reference |
Used on Element: <meta-date>
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
Text, numbers, or special characters. | Names, for example, a lifecycle stage that should not be expressed with <release-date> or a circumstance that is unique to a particular standards organization, for example, “Date of Issuance” for ASME or “Date of ratification” for CEN-CENELEC. There are no suggested values for this attribute. Best Practice for new documents is to use this @date-type attribute instead of the ISO-specific @type attribute to record this date-typing information. |
Restriction | This is an optional attribute; there is no default. |
Used on Element: <pub-date>
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
Text, numbers, or special characters. | The meaning and values for @date-type for this element were taken directly from JATS and are more appropriate to journal articles than to standards. Best Practice for NISO STS is to use the element <release-date> to indicate publication dates. |
Restriction | This is an optional attribute; there is no default. |

accepted | The date a manuscript was accepted |

received | The date a manuscript was received |
rev-recd | The date a revised manuscript was received |
