Temporal

Taiyō follows specific standards for the temporal data. These standards are used in maintaining timestamps for each of the data products.

Timestamp : format(%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z)
where
%Y-%m-%-d: It mentions date of the data in the Year, Month and Day format
%H:%M:%S: It mentions time of the data in Hour, Minutes and Seconds format
%z: It indicates timezone and Taiyo maintains UTC Standard for all the timestamps.
Example to timestamp for one of the data product(aishub): 2021-05-02T00:00:00+0000

Five Temporal Categories that are also used as Tags (described later in the documentation):

  1. Daily: Data that are sampled daily.
  2. Weekly: Data that are sampled weekly.
  3. Monthly: Data that are sampled monthly. In this case the “day(%d)” is the first day of the month. Year and Month are the same as provided by the source.Ex: 2021-05-01T00:00:00+0000
  4. Quarterly: Data that are sampled Quarterly. In this case the “day(%d)” is the first day of the month. Year and Month(which is the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th month of the year) is the same as provided by the source.Ex: 2021-03-01T00:00:00+0000
  5. Yearly/Annual: Data that are sampled Yearly. In this case the “day(%d)” and “month(%m)” are the first day of the month and first month of the year respectively. Year is the same as provided by the source.Ex: 2021-01-01T00:00:00+0000
