The latter, very slightly modified, is the ISO standard form. It's not used very much by humans, but for computers it's excellent: clear, unambiguous, and readily sortable. The official ISO form when you have both date and time looks like this: 2006-04-05T03:02:01 . It's more readable with a space in the middle.
