[Odrl-version2] Dates and times in constraints

[Francis Cave]

The format in the W3C note mandates the inclusion of the time zone, i.e.
+01:00 for UTC+1 hr, -01:00 for UTC-1hr, etc. I was simply abbreviating this
requirement.

What is the reason for the ±HH:MM?

Also - how does this format represent timezone?

Following discussion in Namur, the Common Vocabulary now states that a
dateTime should conform to ISO 8601 as represented in W3C XML Schema. Stuart
Myles has suggested to me that in the ACAP profile we should consider
constraining this further so that date-times conform to
http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime, i.e. making on the following forms
valid:

 

YYYY-MM-DD for dates

YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS±HH:MM for date-times

 

[In case this is garbled by your email reader, that’s a plus-minus between
‘SS’ and ‘HH’].

 

It may be that this additional constraint won’t make sense for the Common
Vocabulary, but I thought it worth mentioning.
