Descripción
- As a user, I wish I could use Woodwork to automatically infer the difference between timezone aware datetimes, timezone naive datetimes and date only columns. These types of date objects are not always interchangeable and having the ability to differentiate between them via a semantic tag could be useful for downstream users.
All of these types could be represented with the existing `Datetime` logical type that is supplemented with an appropriate semantic tag based on the type of datetime the column contains:
- Timezone aware datetime columns could be tagged with the `datetime_with_timezone` semantic tag
- Timezone naive columns could be tagged with a `datetime_without_timezone` semantic tag
- Date only columns could be tagged with a `date_only` semantic tag indicating that any time information present should not be used
These tags could then be used by downstream processes to differentiate between the various types of datetimes so they are used appropriately.
