Clarification on date and time format #interproc #378

Closed naerp closed 1 year ago

naerp commented 1 year ago

Hello all. We were looking into the tech handbook and saw this info, regarding the format for time and date. (https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/38315856/214353586-50ee6e89-2385-4e53-8180-5b813642f381.png) You mention that date should be in format yyyy-dd-mm (2023-01-24, as an example) and time should be in format hh:mm:ss (16:41:23, as an example). Nevertheless, when we look at the example artifacts available in the ESPD-EDM, we find this:

2022-11-24+01:00 16:44:18.554+01:00 It seems you are including the timezone offset to UTC in both date and time and also including milliseconds in the time. If you try and use the example artifacts in the Interproc validator (which we built according with the rules defined of the tech handbook), we will get a warning, regarding date and time fields. Which one should we consider as correct, the tech handbook specification or the example artifacts? Can you fix the one that is not correct and let us know? Thank you.
