Hi,

I'm testing the timestamp format and I note that doesn't support date in ISO basic format (ISO 8601), as is documented in MS SQL Server pages: yyyymmdd[1][2] (yes, without separator string).

The expected value to 20120101 is Jan 1, 2012, but the script returns this json

{
  "time": "+00020120101-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "precision": 9,
  "before": 0,
  "after": 0,
  "utcoffset": "+00:00",
  "calendar": "http://wikidata.org/id/Q1985727"
}

This is my little feedback, thinking about importing some data from sqlserver to any repository.

Regards

Hi all,

continuing from last weeks data values discussion, I would like to invite comments on the following prototypes for understanding points of time and points on Earth.

<http://simia.net/valueparser/time.html>

<http://simia.net/valueparser/coordinate.html>

What it currently does not do is:
* i18n (it's in the code, but not properly exposed yet)

* enable dates like "Date of birth: 437-436 BC"

Working on both still, but I'd like to have a first round of feedback.

Happy 2013,
Denny
