UTC and Date Conversions

Automatic conversion for UTC date/time values is done if the attribute implementation that is linked to the attribute has primitive data type ‘time’ or ‘dateTime’. The corresponding attribute implementation is then assumed to have a UTC date/time domain as its native data type.

From outside to inside, a string according to the ISO 8601 format is converted to a UTC date/time according to the internal LN representation. From inside to outside, the internal LN representation is converted to an ISO 8601 string.

In this case, the used ISO 8601 format is any of the following:

• yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ
• yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss+hh:mm
• yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss-hh:mm

Automatic conversion for date values is done if the attribute implementation that is linked to the attribute has primitive data type ‘date’. The corresponding attribute implementation is then assumed to have a date domain as its native data type.

From outside to inside, a string according to the yyyy-mm-dd format is converted to a date in the internal LN representation. From inside to outside, the internal LN representation is converted to a date string having the yyyy-mm-dd format.
