The type date is fully specified at http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#date and takes format yyyy-mm-dd.

Example: 2002-10-10

The type dateTime is fully specified at http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime and takes format yyyy-mm-ddThh:mi:ss .

Notes:

  • The - and T are required separator characters.

  • Hours are given in 24 hour format. Optionally, fractional seconds and time zones may be appended.

  • If no time zone is appended, the local system time zone is used.
