The date issue is something that we're working on right now in developing the backend database to our site. As mentioned in the citation-brainstorming section of the wiki, so many publication dates don't follow the standard machine-readable format of YYYYMMDD. Books tend to be just years, journals are usually month/ year or season/year, etc. In our case, except for newspaper articles and the like, most of our publication dates wouldn't fit into the YYYYMMDD format. I don't really have a question about this issue right now, but if there have been any new developments/ thoughts on this beyond what is on the wiki, I would like to know.
I assume dates for citation will be based on the datetime design pattern:
http://microformats.org/wiki/datetime-design-pattern Which is based on ISO 8601: http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime Which has variable specificity, so YYYY is a valid date format. -- Scott Reynen MakeDataMakeSense.com _______________________________________________ microformats-new mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-new
