Use T in timestamps #18

Closed peterdesmet closed 4 years ago

peterdesmet commented 4 years ago

@sarahcd it might be an artefact in Excel, but all dates should use T to separate date and time in eventDate and measurementDeterminedDate to be ISO 8601 compliant. So:

2014-02-11T21:35:42.000+00:00

Rather than:

2014-02-11 21:35:42.000+00:00

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Combined_date_and_time_representations and http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/64316/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a003169814.htm:

T indicates that a time value follows. Any value with a time must begin with T.

Very glad to have @peterdesmet catching my mistakes :) Will be fixed on the next version I post.
