     [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-1680?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Eike Rathke updated OFFICE-1680:
--------------------------------

        Summary: Editor Note: Section 18.344 number:calendar  (was: Editor Note: Section 17.345 number:calendar
)
       Proposal: 
- gregorian
  Gregorian calendar with cut-off date 1582-10-04, 1582-10-15 following. Dates
  before cut-off date are calculated in Julian proleptic calendar.
  - ISO 8601:2004 section 3.2.1

- buddhist
  Buddhist calendar, identical to Gregorian calendar offset by -543 years.

- gengou
  Japanese Gengou calendar, Emperor eras. Identical to Gregorian calendar but
  with different eras for each emperor. Applications may implement only the
  modern eras starting 1868, Meiji, Taisho, Showa and Heisei. Earlier dates
  then are displayed using the Gregorian calendar.
  - JIS X 0301

- hanja
  Additional Gregorian calendar in Korean locales, uses differently localized
  day and month names.

- hanja_yoil
  Legacy alias for 'hanja'.

- hijri
  Islamic Hijri lunar calendar (religious, non-civil).

- jewish
  Jewish lunisolar calendar.

- ROC
  Taiwanese Minguo calendar, identical to Gregorian calendar offset by -1911
  years.

Reserved for future use: "japanese" (alias for "gengou"), "persian",
"islamic-civil", "islamic" (alias for "hijri"), "hebrew" (alias for "jewish"),
"chinese", "indian", "coptic", "ethiopic", "ethiopic-amete-alem",

    Description: 
Transcribed from ODF_Revised_Editorial_Notes_27May2009.odt

Original author: Patrick Durusau
Section 17.345 number:calendar

Ed. Note We don't define any of these calendars, directly or by reference. ISO 29500 was heavily criticized for this same failure. BTW, how is the "default calendar system for the locale of the data style" set? 

Note:
Former 17.345 is 18.344 in OpenDocument-v1.2-part1-cd03-editor-revision-rev03.odt, corrected in Summary field.
'gengou' is misspelled as 'genou'.

There seem to be few, if any, authoritative references for calendars or how to exactly calculate them. The most comprehensive sites and books I found are:

http://www.tondering.dk/claus/calendar.html
http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications/astronomical-information-center/calendars
http://www.phys.uu.nl/~vgent/calendar/isocalendar.htm

A partial reprint from
"Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Almanac", P. Kenneth Seidelmann (ed.)
Sausalito CA: University Science Books, [1992] 2005. ISBN 1-891389-45-9.
  Authoritative reference on a wealth of topics related to computational
  geodesy and astronomy. Various calendars are described in depth, including
  techniques for interconversion.

"Calendrical Calculations", by Nachum Dershowitz & Edward M. Reingold,
Cambridge University Press, 1997
