startDate Start Date Date Date and time the term became effective. This
does not provide a bound on date ranges or milestones
associated with this time period, but instead indicates the
time period proper. This is a similar concept to the effective
date on enumerated values. When an expiration date has been
specified, this field must be less than or equal to the
expiration date.		 One No  
endDate End Date Date Date and time the term expires. This does not
provide a bound on date ranges or milestones associated with
this time period, but instead indicates the time period
proper. If specified, this must be greater than or equal to the
effective date. If this field is not specified, then no
expiration date has been currently defined and should
automatically be considered greater than the effective date.		 One No
