Timekeeping
Timestamps adhere to the RFC3339 standard for date and time representation.
All events are recorded in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), commonly referred to as Zulu time.
Examples of timestamp formats include:
- Timestamp with nanoseconds:
1985-04-12T23:20:50.089591155Z
- Timestamp with seconds precision:
1985-04-12T23:20:50Z
In the case of geographically bound events, alongside the UTC timestamp, we provide a timestamp with timezone information. This approach guarantees the precise recording of events and their potential impact on human lives, accounting for timekeeping nuances, even in scenarios where future changes in timezones may occur.
