<conf-date> Conference Date
Date(s) on which a conference was held.
Usage/Remarks
Best Practice
Conference dates in journal metadata are traditionally stored in one of two forms:
as a single date (“May 1906”), or as the first day and last day of the conference.
Either form can be stored in the <conf-date> element:
<conf-date iso-8601-date="2011-12">December 2011</conf-date>
or
<conf-date iso-8601-date="2010-08-04">August 4, 2010 - August 9, 2010</conf-date>
Dates that originate as separate first and last elements in the source should be combined.
For example, the separate dates:
<conf-start>August 4, 2010</conf-start> <conf-end>August 9, 2010</conf-end>
should be merged into a single conference date to become:
<conf-date iso-8601-date="2010-08-04">August 4, 2010 - August 9, 2010</conf-date>
