See Table 35 of this document.

In the resulting maps from fitting EIS spectra, the metadata have the keys DATE_BEG, DATE_END, DATE_AVG to describe the beginning, end, and average time of the observing interval, respectively. Note that these use a "_" character rather than the standard "-". In the EISMap source this is accounted for by overriding the relevant properties on the map itself. However, this seems like fixing a mistake that we can account for by just fixing the keys before producing the maps themselves by just replacing the relevant keys.
