Date or DateTime when the last modification of the unit record was made. Expressed in a variant of the W3C DateTime format (subset of ISO 8601). The formatting holds to the W3C DateTime format (https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime) with the exception, that the time zone designator can be omitted (though it is highly recommended).

Note that experience shows that the information provided here is often unreliable, because providers tend to disregard updating this information. Maps to Dublin-Core standard element "Date.Modified".
