I unpacked the epub and looked at it. In line 10 it says <dc:date>2010-02-08T22:00:00</dc:date>
So who is right and who is wrong ? Is my epub valid ? Is there anything wrong with my content opf ? As I said, I converted the file with calibre, so I thought everything would be fine.
Are there other (easy to use) epub checkers? Thanks for your help

Dublin Core recommends the usage of either just the year (YYYY) or year+month (YYYY-MM). (
http://dublincore.org/documents/usag...elements.shtml section 4.12.) Aynway, if you still want use a date/time value then you should at least add the time zone according to the
W3C's W3CDTF date/time scheme.
Examples:
Code:
<dc:date>2010</dc:date>
<dc:date>2010-02</dc:date>
<dc:date>2010-02-08T22:00:00+01:00</dc:date>
I use
epubcheck to validate ePub-files...
