| Definition | Date of creation or availability of the digital resource. Use an approximate digitization date if the exact date is not known. |
| Usage |
Refers to the date of creation of the master archival file, not of the derivative file used for display. Follow W3C-DTF standard (ISO 8601) of YYYY-MM-DD. Beware of this field in CSVs opened in Excel—the software will reformat the dates! It's best to edit in an Excel version and then save as a CSV without reopening the CSV before upload. For a range of dates, put a dash in between dates. |
