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 a value 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.
Used on these Elements:
| 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, “2012-03-15”. |
| Restriction | @iso-8601-date is an optional attribute; there is no default. |
