Time or historical chronology is the core of historical information and it's very important for the historical truth recognition.While information technology has a strong organizational ability on time,it hard for it to handle with the historical information due to the limitation of time data standard. The Chinese chronology is different from the west and complex in itself which intense the difficulty of connecting it with the universal time standard.Therefore,the Chinese chronology is changed according to the Christian era. Thus,information distortion,high cost for ranking and weak compatibility and portability appear which restricts the application effects and developing potential.However,using the Julian date as the basic time standard,the problems above can be avoided and this can serve our historical recognition efficiently.Related standards are needed to be set.
