Research on new pattern: Datetime Design Pattern (blog 6)

Dr.Sri asked us to do some research on more patterns apart from the one we are studying in our unit. I was looking on the internet trying to find some new pattern and came across DateTime Design pattern
Datetime Design Pattern
Why
This design pattern is used to make human readable datetimes to be also formally read by the machine. The needs arises as a result of solving the practical need for human readable dates for hCalender (hCalendar is a simple, open, distributed calendaring, based on the Calendar standard).
Where & How it is used
Datetime design pattern is used in hCalendar is something like this:
Date Time
where foo is the name of the class which is being applied to this date/time, the title of the is an ISO 8601 date/time and "Date Time" is a friendly representation of the same date/time. [1]
