<access-date>

Access Date for Cited Work

Definition

The date on which the cited work was examined. This is a human-readable date; there has been no attempt to standardize the date format.

Remarks

Some online resources are changing so quickly that a citation (<citation>) to the resource is not complete without the date on which the cited resource was examined, since a day before or a day later, the relevant material might be different.

Related Elements

The related element <time-stamp> is used to record not the time when a cited resource was examined, but rather the time stamp that was found on the resource when it was examined, for time-stamped resources. The time stamp is applied to the resource by its creators, usually as a version indicator, and says nothing about when a contributor examined the resource, only what version was found at the time of examination.
