 If priority labels (*defer*, etc.) are connected to a vector, then the decision tree used to reach those decisions should generally be noted.
 However, for complex communication, machine-to-machine communication, or long-term storage of SSVC data, the JSON format and schema should be used.
 
-The optional parameter `time` is the time in seconds since the UNIX epoch that the SSVC information was collected or last checked for freshness and accuracy.
+The optional parameter `time` is the date and time of the SSVCv2 record creation as represented in [RFC 3339, section 5.6](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3339). This is a subset of the date format also commonly known as ISO8601 format.
 
 Based on this, an example string could be:
 ```

 While these abbreviated format vectors can be uniquely produced based on a properly formatted JSON object, going from abbreviated form to JSON is not supported.
 Therefore, JSON is the preferred storage and transmission method.
