<string-date>

Date as a String

Definition

This is a representation of the date as text, as just a string of characters.

Remarks

This element is typically used for dates for which months and years are not given (e.g., “In apple blossom time”). Although the <string-date> element may also be used for any date that is represented as a sequence of characters (i.e., “January, 2001”, “Fall 2001”, “March 11, 2001”), it is better practice to tag the year, month, and/or day as numbers, so “January, 2001” would become

<month>01<month>
<year>2001<year>

Model Description

Text, numbers, or special characters
