The existing Standards include both[1,2].
I'm not sure if DCAT makes a specific recommendation, but several of the StratML Measurement terms would be affected. Citability.org [3] does use both time and date because "Government websites are ever changing and cannot be cited.". I think using *both* time and date in identifiers might be part of the problem, but in any case, shifting time frames is a metadata concern for Open Data.
ISO also includes a "Week Day" format for dates (it's a bit awkward), "... used in many commercial and industrial applications.". They might have added; "The assumption is that money and therefore, work are infinitely divisible." Policy Documents, Strategic Planning, and Governments do not need that assumption. What they do need, and I guess I just volunteered, is somebody to write a conversion script for the time value of short term work (.25-25 years).
