  • xsd:duration is the format defined by ISO 8601 under the form PnYnMnDTnHnMnS, in which the capital letters are delimiters that can be omitted when the corresponding number is not used. This data type, duration hours, has been derived from xsd:duration by restricting the components to hours only.
