No, that is not a data model. It is an exported record.
If it were a data model you could tell if this was a "date" type, a
"time string" or a "character string".

In this case none are apparent.

(as a hint, in this system it means that due to the fact you can't have
an empty datetime attribute, all default on creation to 2000/01/01 and
when this object is updated it actually gets a UNIX time string but that
is irrelevant to the discussion).
