All an access date does it authenticate a URL; it says "the URL was valid on this date." URLs change, so citations REQUIRE access dates. I have never seen an exception to this rule. Whether we call it "dtvalid" or "dtaccessed" doesn't matter that much.
--- Yup, i think we are talking about the same thing in two different contexts. I was describing going to an article (something like A List Apart, or any other web-based magazine, etc.) pressing my little bookmarklet and get a .bib file ABOUT that page, then i could add that into my own document as work THAT I AM CITING. Then i could just use the current DATETIME as the dtaccessed. The senario you have shown (and others) is an article with several references in the bibliography. You need to know WHEN that author accessed at THOSE referrences. That goes back to a very early idea with citations[1], is the citation mark-up about the CURRENT page, or about something else. (that 'something else' would need a dtaccessed). ALSO, as a side note, if you are contributing to the wiki, be sure to add your name to the list of contributors. -brian [1] - http://microformats.org/wiki/citation-brainstorming#This_and_That -- brian suda http://suda.co.uk _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
