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.
Usage/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 a content of “January”. In addition, the hours, minutes, and seconds may be used to include a timestamp
for a date, for example, when a publication date has both an embargo date and an embargo
time.
