8. Date

Field labels: DATE CREATED and DATE MODIFIED

Definition:

1. The date the resource was created in its current form. 2. The date the resource was changed.

Purpose: This element allows a search to be restricted to resources created or modified on a certain date.

Obligation: Mandatory

Input guidelines

8.1 Enter an eight digit number in the form YYYY-MM-DD for both DATE CREATED and DATE MODIFIED fields when initially creating the record. Each time a record is edited, change the DATE MODIFIED to reflect the date on which the edit was made.

  • if this resource was subsequently modified on 2 March 2006 the DATE MODIFIED would be changed to 2006-03-02.
