Forms of the calendar date

During the oral indication of a calendar date depends on the language, the written form is partially normalized. In Germany and Austria the spelling of the date, using traditional formats or the International Standard ISO 8601 or its European and national representatives ( EN 28601:1992 in Europe, DIN 5008 in Germany, ÖNORM A 1080 and ÖNORM EN 28601 in Austria ) follows.

The traditional date formats make up as follows:

  • Dd.mm.yyyy, without leading zeros. Examples: 23.7.1926. 1.1.2001
  • Out with leading zeros. Examples: 14.3.1939. 02.01.2011
  • DD.MM.YY. without leading zeros. Examples: 11.17.65. 2.9.8
  • TT.MM.JJ, with leading zeros. Examples: 2:10:10. 01:02:07
  • TT.MM.JJ, day and month without a leading zero digit year numbers are preceded by a leading zero. Examples: 1.1.01. 2:10:09

Furthermore, in internal memoranda of draft letters, especially in the public sector, the spelling " day " / " month " usual ( eg: " 13/7 " for " July 13 "). This is the day of the drawing.

In the typography usually a narrow space, and before the year is a normal word space is set at the date formats Out and accept dates between the day and the month.

The international standard ISO 8601 date format to avoid misunderstandings and harmonization of the different international dates in the form YYYY- MM-DD is set (also YY-MM -DD to revision 2004). Although the ISO standard 8601 integrated in the European standard EN 28601:1992 and this was again added to the German standard DIN 5008 and the Austrian standard ÖNORM EN 28601, the new notation YYYY- MM-DD could not prevail in Germany. In Germany, DIN 5008 allowed since 2001, the use of the usual date format TT.MM. [ yy] yy, with two -digit years should be used only if the interpretation of the century is clear.

The guidelines for the typesetting of the European Office of Publications insert the date of writing in German-language publications on the format dd.mm.yyyy without leading zeros determine gaps are not set.

Alphanumeric dates, as information with ausgeschriebenem month names are not part of the ISO 8601. ANY SUCH Dates continue to be governed by national standards, for example in DIN 5008th The recommended there alphanumeric notation value is 7 January 2003. The notation for the January 7, 2003 is in Austria January 7, 2003.

Origin of the word date

The name is derived from the Latin past participle passive date ( given ) of the verb dare (to give), which is found in many Latin writings and letters as the final formulation, eg " date the Nativitatis S. Ioannis A. D. MCCCL " ( " Given on the day of the birth of John the Baptist in the year of our Lord 1350 ").

In the Middle Ages had every day of the year, a name and the years were named in relative terms to a large event (eg at St. John, three years after the Great Man potions ). Thus, there is no uniform dates before the introduction of the Gregorian calendar.
