GeostoreDateTimeProto

AI Overview😉

  • The potential purpose of this module is to accurately represent and process dates and times in Google Search's algorithm. It allows for the specification of precision levels for dates and times, enabling the algorithm to understand the granularity of the time information provided.
  • This module could impact search results by allowing the algorithm to better understand the temporal context of search queries and web page content. This could lead to more accurate and relevant search results, particularly when the search query involves specific dates or time ranges. For example, a search query like "summer 2022" could be better understood to refer to a specific time period, rather than just the general concept of summer.
  • To be more favorable to this function, a website could ensure that its date and time information is provided in a clear and consistent format, with explicit precision levels where possible. This could include using standardized date and time formats, such as ISO 8601, and providing additional context or metadata to help the algorithm understand the intended precision of the time information. Additionally, websites could consider using schema.org markup to provide explicit date and time information to search engines.

GoogleApi.ContentWarehouse.V1.Model.GeostoreDateTimeProto (google_api_content_warehouse v0.4.0)

WARNING: Outside of FeatureProto, please avoid in favor of a standard civil time type. Direct usage is error-prone due to the conflation of physical time and civil time (go/httat). In a protocol buffer, please use google.type.Date, with an additional google.type.TimeOfDay for precision finer-grained than a day. (For google.type.DateTime, go/prototime#types cites go/httat#zoned_datetime as a caveat). In a programming language, see go/time-devguide/languages. Additionally in C++, google3/geostore/base/public/datetime.h has conversion functions between DateTimeProto and Abseil's civil time types.

Attributes

  • precision (type: String.t, default: nil) - This attribute describes the precision of the date and time. It would be unusual for a data provider to provide a precision along with their date. It is more likely that the precision of a date will be inferred from the date format. For example "19th century" is likely to be correct to the century, while "1800" is probably correct to the year. The precision should be semantically interpreted as a cast, so a DateTimeProto object with a seconds value corresponding to 2018-03-28 18:40:00 UTC and a precision of MONTH should be interpreted as "March 2018". The enums above are only some of the possible precision levels for dates and times. Clients may wish to add more precision enums in the future. However, these enums must be ordered by decreasing duration. Clients should be able to write date formatting code that looks like this: if (datetime.precision() <= DateTimeProto::PRECISION_CENTURY) { date = FormatCenturyDate(proto.seconds()); } else if (proto.precision() <= case DateTimeProto::PRECISION_DECADE) { date = FormatDecadeDate(proto.seconds()); } else { ... } See geostore/base/public/datetime.h for date formatting utility functions.
  • seconds (type: float(), default: nil) - Number of seconds since (or before) the UNIX epoch (January 1, 1970). This is also the standard epoch for Java and Python time representations. If it is important for this time be displayed correctly for different time zones, convert the time to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
