Some time ago I was proposing to the XML SIG to
start some work on dates.

I've listed three types of dates, that I merge here with
the above list.


- dates of documenting
(create, edit, attesting, storing in a database, transcribing, etc)

- dates of awareness
(reporting by patient, observing by professional, reading a mesage, etc)

- dates of (clinically meaningful) events
(sampling, observing [again ! ! event = awareness here], informing, operating, etc)

I'm not considering for the moment temporal information
not presented as a date in a separate processable item
(e.g. "three weeks ago" within a text).

If someone is interested in refining the above comments,
or is able to give me a reference about previous work,
I'll appreciate.
