If there is a need to reflect that the dataset is continually updated, ISO 8601 formatting can account for this by [giving the duration](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations). For instance, `P1D` for daily, `P2W` for every two weeks, and `PT5M` for every five minutes.

**Usage Notes** | This field should contain an interval of time defined by start and end dates. Dates should be formatted as pairs of {start datetime/end datetime} in the [ISO 8601](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) format. ISO 8601 specifies that datetimes can be formatted in a number of ways, including a simple four-digit year (eg. 2013) to a much more specific YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ, where the T specifies a seperator between the date and time and time is expressed in 24 hour notation in the UTC (Zulu) time zone. (e.g., 2011-02-14T12:00:00Z/2013-07-04T19:34:00Z). Use a solidus ("/") to separate start and end times.

If there is a need to reflect that the dataset is continually updated, ISO 8601 formatting can account for this by [with repeating intervals](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Time_intervals). For instance, updated monthly starting in January 2010 and continuing through the present would be represented as: `R/2010-01/P1M`.

346+
Updated every 5 minutes beginning on February 15, 2010 would be represented as: `R/2010-02-15/PT5M`.
