Governance – Add date Format Attribute to Define Date Pattern

In order to support accurate parsing and validation of date-type fields, we need to add a Date Format attribute in the governance metadata. This attribute will define the expected date pattern (e.g., %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ) for datasets using structured formats such as CSV or JSON.

Purpose

• Ensure that the Quality Evaluator can reliably interpret and validate date fields.
• Allow data consumers to correctly process date fields
• Maintain compatibility with DCAT.
