Problem statement :  Understanding timestamps and date or calendar management
                     in the context of computing systems...further to as
                     detailed  in the document referred below.

In the context of unix operating sytem ...timestamp is usually the current
cloak cycle of the CPU.

Opportunity : Innovative timestamp design.

              By having a cmos clock (while understood that itself is cloaks)
              as part of the CPU ...on the circuit usually termed motherboard.

              Those understanding or familar with databases (RDBMS) and some
              scripting languages (vbscript or javascript etc)

              STORING DATE AS CHARACTER TIMESTAMP ...ADHERING TO A STANDARD FORMAT
        
              refer to various ....supported format.


              the standard limitation's timestamp (unix) being the size of a integer
              variable, translating to the amount of relative time that can be calibrated
              at any point of time.

              ...given that time  being measured is relative.

              by storing the timestamp ...as a character string(removing the standard
              seperators -,/ ...etc reffering or denoting the representation to various
              parts of the string) ...in the above format, timestamp ...can loaded as
              a (large) integer ...in the context treating  the character string as
              a integer ...say kind of VALue of function in the database and scripting
              context ...so called cobol notation ...would be better understood for
              the above illustration.

              ...ideally this can be achieved and stored literally as a integer ...once
              the OS takes care of it ..viz. given a function() that converts or translates
              into a integer from the reading of a CMOS clock ...hence ...may be discounted
              for scientific applications.


              Also taking a cue from the way a standard display unit of a digital watch
              functions ...viz. the format in which it displays date and time numerically,
              it should be possible to capture the timestamp as a 'char string' or 'integer'
              in the same human readable format ...also there isn't much of a difference 
              between what is termed as a CPU-processor or this kind of a digital clock.


              Standard use-case modeling can be applied ...merits be considered
              ...adopted where feasible ....in computing systems (OS, databases)
              
              
Note: The above problem statement having been encountered in various scenarios
      and detailed in various 'Proof of concepts' as mentioned in 
      'http://uk.geocities.com/ravivenkatus/projects.pdf' ....apply appropriate
      'use-case' modeling, rationalize and arrive at a workable and feasible 
       solution both commercially and techinically viable.
