temporalExpr (temporal expression) groups component elements of temporal expressions involving dates and time.
Attributes:
value supplies the value of a date or time in a standard form.
Datatype: CDATA
Values: Any string representing a temporal expression in standard format; recommended form is ``yyyy-mm-dd'', as defined by ISO 8601: 1988, Data elements and interchange formats --- Information interchange --- Representation of dates and times.
Default: #IMPLIED
Note

The standard form used should be described in the <stdVals> element in the TEI header. Standard forms may be defined from scratch, or borrowed from existing practice.

type provides any application-, linguistic- or culture-specific classication for the component.
Datatype: CDATA
Values: Any string of characters.

Example:
<dateStruct value='14-05-1993'>
 <day type=nominal>Friday</day>,
