The key survey:date=* is used to indicate the date when a node, way or relation was last surveyed or verified in person.
The date should be specified using the ISO 8601 standard. This standard specifies that date must follow the order year → month → day, separated by hyphen (-), such as 1990-12-24 for the 24th day of December in 1990 or 2022-02-02 for the 2nd day of February in 2022. If the exact date is not known or required, yyyy-mm or yyyy is used.
This key should only be used when providing the survey date would be of some value to the OSM community, for example the survey date of a hiking route, which is helpful to estimate the chance of it still being reasonably reliable.
An alternative to survey:date=* is the tag combination source=survey + source:date=*, commonly used as a changeset tag.
