can I put am or pm in eventTime?

Open debpaul opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hi All, while I realize not a recommended best practice, What if, for a given collecting event, for a given specimen, I know if the specimen was observed or collected in the AM vs the PM.

In this case, can I put dwc:eventTime={AM, PM}

rather than not share these data?

Or better to put in MoF? @tdwg/dwc thanks!

@debpaul That would definitely be against the recommendations for eventTime. I think it would just get lost in dynamicProperties. Would you be satisfied with putting the eventTime as a valid ISO8601-1:2019 range?

AM=00:00/12:00 PM=12:00/00:00

Thanks @tucotuco interesting option. I'll ask the data provider if that works for them, concept-wise. I think we can close this now. If others want to weigh in, they can re-open.
