Jc3s5h added a comment. In reply to thiemowmde, P570 (Date of death; the same argument applies to P569, Date of birth) |has datatype TimeValue. The description of the datatype is at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/DataModel. The first element the TimeValue structure is described as follows:
time (isotime): point in time, represented per ISO8601, they year always having 11 digits, the date always be signed, in the format +00000002013-01-01T00:00:00Z I would take this to mean that there are methods for providers of data to present a time stamp in this format to the database to be stored, and there are methods for consumers of data to extract the timestamp in this format from the database, and the documentation serves as a specification so developers will know what they must accept and what they must provide. Any routines that handle these values internally can do what they want, but the interface should be clear.
