I see many different ways that date is presented. Sometimes I do not understand which number is which. I went looking to see what standards might be out there. These are the two I found and to me they make sense. Therefore I choose to put my date into the format yyyy-mm-dd according to the following standards. ISO (International Organization for standardization) ISO 8601 defines date and time standards information, Info from: http://www.iso.ch/ http://www.w3.org ANSI (American National Standards Institute) ANSI X3.30-1997 defines date and time standards information, Info from: http://www.ansi.org/ http://www.geminfo.org/Workbench/Metadata/syntax_date.html |
