19920417

19920417 is an eight-digit numeral that represents the calendar date April 17, 1992, in the YYYYMMDD notation. This compact form is widely used in computing and data processing because it preserves chronological order when treated as a numeric or lexicographic key, and it avoids regional ambiguities associated with day-month-year arrangements.

In human contexts, the hyphenated ISO 8601 representation 1992-04-17 is more common and reduces potential confusion across different locales. The YYYYMMDD format, by contrast, is favored in databases, file naming, archival systems, and other data-management practices where consistent, sortable date keys are important.

Common uses and implications include timestamping records, indexing historical data, organizing digital archives, and serving as simple identifiers in logs or versioning schemes. Because the format encodes the year first, it facilitates straightforward chronological sorting even in large datasets and when interchanging data between systems that rely on plain numeric or string keys.

Notes for interpretation emphasize that while 19920417 denotes a specific date, the value itself does not imply a particular event without context. Any notable happenings on that day would appear in primary sources or event-specific records dated 1992-04-17 or 19920417.
