TIMELINE CONSORTIUM

The Timeline Consortium was founded in 2016 to develop a metadata standard designed to faciliate the easy ingest of time-related data into online timeline tools. The original proposal, to the Sloan Foundation, that began the project is online here... To solve this problem, we have created a standard for timeline-related information. Our process included researching existing standards and conversion options between them, deciding which pieces of existing standards to adopt, and then defining the minimum useful standard set as a list of semantic tags and formats for basic concepts such as "start time."
