ISO 8601 gang. You’d never want to describe dates that way but for file management the convenience is massive.
If you're using a *NIX command line, something like
mkdir $(date +%F)_photosis super handy.
I do. Anything I have to put a datecode on, always gets a stamp of YYYYMMDD.
That's not ISO8601
That is the basic format of ISO8601, hyphens are only used in the extended format which is encouraged to be used in plain text.
See ISO 8601:2004 section 2.3.3 basic format
