Topic: Format for Atlas upload date field.
The Darwin Core template says for the "eventDate" field that:
Definition: The date or interval during which an Event occurred.
Examples:
2009-02-20 is 20 Feb 2009
1809-02-12 is 12 Feb 1809
1906-06 is Jun 1906
1971 is just that year
"2007-03-01/2008-05-11" is the interval between 1 Mar 2007 and 11 May 2008
"2007-11-13/15" is the interval between 13 Nov 2007 and 15 Nov 2007
For the purposes of exporting data from my database and generating the XLS/ CSV file required by the Atlas, what is the format of the "eventDate" field. I am assuming that it cannot be a "Date" format field as records covering a range of dates will not be in a "real" date format.
