Minnesota Metadata Editor (MME)

Interface Element Description: Tab 3

Element: Metadata Date

Type: date

Short Name: metd

Definition

The date that the metadata were created or last updated.

Domain

Date in this format:

• YYYY  if just the year is known (e.g., 2015)
• YYYYMM  if the year and month are known (e.g., 201507, representing July 2015)
• YYYYMMDD  if the year, month and day are known (e.g., 20150704, representing July 4, 2015)

MME does not enforce this formatting. If the formatting is input incorrectly (e.g., MMDDYYYY), the date shown in the HTML will likely be incorrect. If text is typed in, e.g., "July 4, 2015", it will likely be correct in the HTML but will not support date searches.

Click on the "today" button to input today's date.
