Element pubs:SearchableDateTime

Namespace | urn:us:gov:ic:pubs
Annotations | A date defined by a start and end that can be used by search engines without the ambiguity of the ISO 8601 date type. ISO 8601 allows for June 2010 which is left up to search engines to decide if it should match searches for June 15 2010 or not. Different engines/developers have implemented this differently. Some map this to June 1 2010 some believe this is a special case that does not match ANY date in June since it is the entire month. This type clearly defines that the date is between EarliestStartDate and LatestEndDate. For the June 2010 example assuming the intent was to have search engines match on any date in June encoding this with the SearchAbleDate EarliestStartDate="2010-06-01" and LatestEndDate="2010-06-30" will result in search engines returning this record for any date in June of 2010.
