Annotation

Provides the structure of a Date element, which allows a choice between single, simple dates (of BaseDateType) or date ranges. If the Date element contains a range, Cycle may be used to indicate occurrence of this range within a series of ranges as an integer identifying the cycle. ISO-formatted dates are required for all fields; a historically-formatted date may be provided in addition to the ISO-formatted date.
