Include timestamp when storing/editing a profile #6

Open acorbi opened 9 years ago

In order to keep record when a profile has been hosted/modified, a timestamp field can be added on the profile JSON files.

@elf-pavlik @almereyda what do you think? Should we just add a "@updated" attribute together with "@id" and "@type" ?

An example would be something like this:

{ "@id":"http://profiles.open-steps.org/provider/7ce5f07a-1c3c-4e35-90c9-e51bce25e04a", "@type":"Person" "@updated" : "13/11/2014 20:04:00" "name": "Alex Corbi"

I wonder what is the best choice for the date format. Should we just use time in milis? That raises the question whether the profiles have to be also human readable.

I am not sure, a timestamp is okay for Directory, but here I'd rather like to see basic versioning.
