Chris A. Mattmann commented on TIKA-451:
----------------------------------------

+1 for ISO8601. It's cross database, cross platform and lexographically sortable.

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: metadata, parser
>    Affects Versions: 0.7
>            Reporter: Nick Burch
>            Priority: Minor

> Currently, the PDF Parser does   calendar.getTime().toString()   which means dates end up in your local timezone, and are hard to parse
> The Open Document parsers output in iso 8601 format, which avoids these two problems
> The poi ole2 based parsers also output in date.toString() format, with the same timezone/parsing problems
> We should probably select one format, and update the parsers to all output in it
