In elements <date> and <release-date>, this attribute may be used if the element is used.
| 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 ). |
In element <meta-date>, this attribute may be used if the element is used.
| 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. |
In element <pub-date>, this attribute may be used if the element is used.
| 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. |
