iso-8601-date
ISO-8601 Formatted Date
A machine-processable, ISO 8601 formatted date value
(“YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss”) for a JATS date-specific element, whether
the date be specified as text, an ISO date, a partial date, or as any other date format. If the date
given in the content of the element is in a non-Gregorian calendar, this attribute will
hold the Gregorian calendar equivalent of that date.
Remarks
The ISO date format (“YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss”) may be used, for example, to add a numeric value, such as “01” to a <month> element with the content of “January”. In addition, the hours, minutes, and seconds may be used to include a time-stamp for a date, for example, when a publication date has both an embargo date and an embargo time.
Used on these Elements:
<access-date>, <conf-date>, <date>, <date-in-citation>, <meta-date>, <pub-date>, <release-date>, <year>
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Text, numbers, or special characters | The ISO 8601 standard date format (“YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss”) for the date given in the element, for example, “2015-07-15”. |
| Restriction | This is an optional attribute; there is no default. |
Example 1
The value of @iso-8601-date may mirror element content:
...
<std-meta>
...
<doc-ref>...</doc-ref>
<release-date
iso-8601-date="2014-12-01"
date-type="published"
std-type="new-standard">2014-12-01</release-date>
<comm-ref>...</comm-ref>
...
</std-meta>
... Example 2
The value of @iso-8601-date is for machine searching and comparison:
... <std-meta> ... <content-language>en</content-language> <release-date date-type="published" std-type="revised" iso-8601-date="2013-10-21">October 21, 2013</release-date> <meta-date type="date-of-issuance" iso-8601-date="2013-10-21">October 21, 2013</meta-date> <comm-ref-group level="1">...</comm-ref-group> ... </std-meta> ...
