200708

200708 is a numeric string commonly used to denote August 2007 in a year-month format (YYYYMM). It is not a standalone event or identifier, but a compact representation of a calendar period that appears in various data-management contexts.

In computing and data organization, 200708 serves as a convenient tag for sorting, archiving, and partitioning information by month. It appears in file naming, database keys, and log or report files where day-level precision is unnecessary or unavailable. Examples include log files labeled with the month, monthly data snapshots, or historical archives indexed by year and month.

One advantage of the YYYYMM format is straightforward lexicographic sorting, which aligns with chronological order. However, it has limitations: without a day, it cannot identify a single date, which can lead to ambiguity for events spanning a month or for datasets that require daily granularity. Some systems also rely on delimiters or additional fields to avoid misinterpretation, and time-zone considerations may affect how a given month is perceived in global contexts.

In relation to standard date formats, the ISO 8601 month-year representation would be 2007-08 for August 2007. The compact form 200708 is widely used in filenames, identifiers, and databases where a concise, sortable label is preferred. Overall, 200708 functions as a practical label for the month of August in 2007 within data-centric workflows.
