2.2.5.3 cim:cimDateTime
The CIM specification defines the DateTime type for specifying a time stamp (point in time) or an interval. If it specifies a time stamp, it allows preservation of the time zone offset. In both cases, DateTime allows specification of varying precision of the date and time information. WS-CIM mapping specification, as specified in [DMTF-DSP0230] section 8.1, defines cim:cimDateTime type for mapping DateTime to XML.<39>
