2、n Technology Industry Council (ITI)Approved June 19, 2008American National Standards Institute, Inc.Approval of an American National Standard requires review by ANSI that therequirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approvalhave been met by the standards developer.Consensus is

3、established when, in the judgement of the ANSI Board ofStandards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly andmaterially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more thana simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that allviews and objections be

4、 considered, and that a concerted effort be madetowards their resolution.The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; theirexistence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approvedthe standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or usingproducts, p

5、rocesses, or procedures not conforming to the standards.The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards andwill in no circumstances give interpretation on any American NationalStandard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue aninterpretation of an America

6、n National Standard in the name of the AmericanNational Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should beaddressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the titlepage of this standard.CAUTION NOTICE:This American National Standard may be revised orwithdrawn at any time.

12、12Normative references . 13Definitions. 24Specifications . 25Example 2AnnexABibliography 3iiForeword(This foreword is not part of American National Standard X3.30-1997.)This standard provides a single, unambiguous format for representing the date in in-formation interchange. “Date” refers to a 24-ho

13、ur period of time. The basic represen-tation of date for information interchange specified in this standard is YYYYMMDD,where YYYY refers to a year in the Gregorian calendar, MM refers to a month insuch a year, and DD refers to the day of the month in a year. This standard will be ofinterest to info

14、rmation and data managers, data administrators, and others responsi-ble for making data sharable. It will also be of interest to manufacturers of repositoryand CASE tool products.This standard addresses the need for a single standard for information interchange ofdate data. Other standards for repre

15、senting date in information interchanges containvarious options for interchange of date; thus, potential confusion can arise as to theexact format being used for interchange of date. This standard eliminates such po-tential confusion.This standard was developed within the usual consensus process of

16、American Na-tional Standards committees. Knowledgeable experts from the National Institute forStandards and Technology, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and other organizationsparticipated in the development of this standard. Issues were fully discussed, withpros and cons identified, and votes taken to

17、 resolve them.This standard contains one informative annex, which is not considered part of thisstandard.Requests for interpretation, suggestions for improvement or addenda, or defect reportsare welcome. They should be sent to National Committee for Information TechnologyStandards (NCITS), ITI, 1250

18、 Eye Street, NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20005.This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by NCITS. Com-mittee approval of this standard does not necessarily imply that all committee mem-bers voted for its approval. At the time it approved this standard, NCITS had thefollowing

20、dwas not designed for (nor does it preclude) usage by humans as input to, or output from, datasystems. This standard does not address how data is converted by data systems to be internallyprocessed and/or stored.1.2 PurposeThe purpose of the American National Standard is to provide a single standard

21、 means ofrepresenting calendar date for interchange of dates among data systems.1.3 ApplicationThe representation of calendar date specified in this standard is compatible with other national andinternational standards. In ISO 8601: 1988, the representation specified by this American NationalStandar

22、d is referred to as calendar date-complete representation-basic format, except that thenotation YYYY is used instead of CCYY.2 Normative referencesThe following standard contains provisions that, through reference in this text, constitute provisions ofthis American National Standard.

27、D and now in general use.4 Specifications4.1 The calendar date shall be represented by eight numeric characters. The calendar date shall berepresented in the order of calendar year (YYYY), calendar month (MM), and calendar day (DD). Nocharacters may be added or omitted.4.2 The allowed values for cal

28、endar year are “0001“ through “9999“. Calendar year is presumed tobe anno Domini (A.D.), or Common Era (CE), unless otherwise specified.4.3 The allowed values for calendar month are “01“ through “12“, with a leading zero where thenumber representing the month has only one digit. January is represent

29、ed by the ordinal number“01“, and subsequent months are numbered in ascending sequence from “02“ to “12“.4.4 The allowed values for calendar day are “01“ through “31“, depending on the number of daysin a calendar month, with a leading zero where the number representing the day has only one digit.The

30、 first day of the month is represented by the ordinal number “01“, and subsequent days arenumbered in ascending sequence from “02“ to the end of the month.5 ExampleThe fourth day of July in the year 1776 is represented as “17760704“.Annex A(informative)BibliographyFor a description of the Gregorian calendar, see Explanatory Supplement to the AstronomicalAlmanac, ed: P.K.
