Nick Burch commented on TIKA-451:
---------------------------------
All makes sense to me. I'll hopefully get around to making the changes to the
Metadata object in the next couple of days, and once that's in rolling out the
required changes to the parsers that don't currently output suitable dates.
> Inconsistent date format for Metadata.CREATION_DATE and Metadata.LAST_MODIFIED

> Key: TIKA-451
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-451
> Project: Tika
> 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
