A calendar is a system for naming periods of time, typically days. These names are known as calendar dates. The dates may be based on the perceived motion of astronomical objects. A calendar is also a physical device (often paper) that illustrates the system (for example, a desktop calendar) — this is the most common usage of the word. ...more on Wikipedia about "Calendar"
A date in a calendar is a reference to a particular day by means of a calendar system. The calendar date allows the particular day to be identified. A person can often determine how many days a particular date comes after another date. For example, " 19 February, 2003", is ten days after " 9 February, 2003", in the Gregorian calendar. ...more on Wikipedia about "Calendar date"
A calendar era is the year numbering system used by a calendar. For example, the Gregorian calendar numbers its years in the Western Christian era (the Coptic and Ethiopic churches have their own Christian eras, see below). The instant, date, or year from which time is marked is called the epoch of the era. There are many different calendar eras. Some are listed below along with their abbreviations (if any). ...more on Wikipedia about "Calendar era"
The calendar of saints is a traditional Christian method of organising a liturgical year on the level of days by associating each day with one or more saints, and referring to the day as the saint's day of that saint. The system arose from the very early Christian custom of annual commemoration of martyrs on the date of their death. As the number of recognized saints increased during Late Antiquity and roughly the first half of the Middle Ages, eventually every day of the year had at least one saint who was commemorated on that date. Eventually, some saints were moved to another day in some traditions, or completely removed; thus, some saints do have more than one day. ...more on Wikipedia about "Calendar of saints"

In the Mesoamerican calendars, Calendar Round dates are composed by interlacing the dates of a 260-day period ( Tzolkin in the Maya Calendar) with dates from a 365-day period (known in the Maya language as the Haab). One Calendar Round cycle thus includes 18980 distinct dates and lasts approximately 52 years (the least common multiple of 260 and 365 is 18980). ...more on Wikipedia about "Calendar round"

The Common Era (CE), sometimes known as the Current Era, is the period of measured time beginning with the year 1 until the present. The term is used for a system of reckoning years that is chronologically equivalent to the anno Domini (AD) ( Latin for "in the year of [our] Lord") system, but with less overtly religious implications. Although common era was a term first used by some Christians in an age when Christianity was the common religion of the West, it is now a term preferred by some as a religiously neutral alternative, though others criticize it as an unnecessary attempt at political correctness. It is also sometimes understood to stand for Christian Era, defeating the intention of religious neutrality. It has its equivalents in other languages. For example, Chinese uses its literal translation, gōngyuán (公元), for date notation. ...more on Wikipedia about "Common Era"

The anno Diocletiani era or the Diocletian era or the Era of Martyrs is a method of numbering years used by Alexandrian Christians during the fourth and fifth centuries. Western Christians were aware of it but did not use it. It was named for the Roman Emperor Diocletian who instigated the last major persecution against Christians in the Empire. As Diocletian began his reign during the Alexandrian year beginning on August 29, 284, year one began on that date. The era was used to number the year in Easter tables produced by the Church of Alexandria. When Dionysius Exiguus continued those tables for additional 95 years, he replaced the anno Diocletiani era with his anno Domini era because he did not wish to continue the memory of a tyrant who persecuted Christians. The anno Domini era became dominant in the Latin West but was not used in the Greek East until modern times. ...more on Wikipedia about "Era of Martyrs"
A fiscal year or financial year is a 12- month period used for calculating annual ("yearly") financial reports in businesses and other organizations.

International observance denotes a day, week, year, decade or other period of time under the Gregorian calendar which is set aside to observe some principal or issue of international interest or concern. Many of these periods have been established by the United Nations General Assembly or by UNESCO. In this case, the lead agency for a particular international observance uses the symbolism of the United Nations or Unesco, a specially designed logo for the year, and their infrastructure to coordinate events worldwide. It also presents a written report about the event. This summarizes the activities that took place around the world under the auspices of the international observance, and makes recommendations for the future. ...more on Wikipedia about "International observance"
ISO 8601, " Data elements and interchange formats – Information interchange – Representation of dates and times" is an international standard for date and time representations.

The Julian day or Julian day number (JDN) is the number of days that have elapsed since 12 noon Greenwich Mean Time (UT or TT) on Monday, January 1, 4713 BC in the proleptic Julian calendar . That day is counted as Julian day zero. The Julian day system was intended to provide astronomers with a single system of dates that could be used when working with different calendars and to unify different historical chronologies. ...more on Wikipedia about "Julian day"
A leap year (or intercalary year) is a year containing an extra day or month in order to keep the calendar year in sync with an astronomical or seasonal year. Seasons and astronomical events do not repeat at an exact number of days, so a calendar which had the same number of days in each year would over time drift with respect to the event it was supposed to track. By occasionally inserting (or intercalating) an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected. A year which is not a leap year is called a common year. ...more on Wikipedia about "Leap year" It's time to think about http://www.shortopedia.com.
