Proposal: Rename lastUpdateDate to dateModified in Certification Data Model #26

Description

@Hygizzle

We suggest renaming the lastUpdateDate field in the certification data model to dateModified to better align with established schema.org and JSON-LD conventions.

dateModified is a standard property in the schema.org vocabulary and is widely used in structured data implementations. Using this naming would:
Align the model more closely with schema.org standards, improve interoperability with structured data consumers and search engines, and make the field's intent clearer and more consistent with common practice.

The change does not affect behavior or meaning — it’s purely a naming adjustment to improve consistency and standards alignment.

Proposed change
"lastUpdateDate": "2025-11-08"

"dateModified": "2025-11-08"
