How do I tag a html-document to show when the document was created / updated?

Is there a standard for tagging a html document with create date and modified date?

  • If you're willing to use Schema.org microdata, you could use dateCreated and dateModified.

    Something like this:

    <body itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/WebPage">
    <p>
        Created on <time itemprop="dateCreated" datetime="2014-12-29T04:19:22">December 29th, 2014</time>
    </p>
</body>
