7.5 Indicating unknown values

When the inclusion of data is mandatory for a particular element in an NFT standard message but a message sender cannot provide such data, the following values shall be entered:

  • In cells where the data is meant to be a string: #unknown# ;

  • In cells where the data is meant to be a date: 9999-01-01;

  • In cells where the data is meant to be a datetime: 9999-01-01T99:01:01; and

  • In cells where the data is meant to be a duration: PT99H01M01S.

The circumstances under which such behaviour is permissible is determined by the terms of the bilateral agreement agreed between the message sender and the message recipient.
