When specifying a date-time value in an attribute for an RSS feed, use this format:
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:sstz[+|-offset]
Where:
YYYY is the year (4 digits).
MM is the month (2 digits).
DD is the day (2 digits).
T is a literal character used as a separator.
hh is the hour (2 digits in 24-hour time designation).
mm is the minute (2 digits).
ss is the second (2 digits).
tz is an RFC822 time zone,Foot 1 or Z to indicate local time.
offset is the difference between the local time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in the format hh:mm.
All of these examples are correct:
2002-06-03T16:06:05.00GMT 2002-06-03T16:06:05.00PDT 2002-06-03T16:06:05.00GMT-07:00 2002-06-03T16:06:05.00JST 2002-06-03T16:06:05.00GMT+09:00 2002-06-03T16:06:05.00Z
As shown by these date-time examples, you can specify numeric offsets in the date-time string. Thus, Greenwich Mean Time can be specified as either GMT or GMT+00:00 and Eastern Standard Time can be specified as either EST or GMT-05:00.
Repositories that dispatch data feeds must explicitly specify the content type to avoid the filtering overhead required by Oracle SES to detect the content type. See the <contentLink> and <content> elements in the example.
The following example shows a data feed containing three documents.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
