University of Oxford — Founded Date: Jan 1096
The source text explicitly states under the 'inception' field: '1096 Gregorian' with a reference to https://www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation/history retrieved on 27 April 2017. The claim states '1096-01' (January 1096), while the source provides only the year 1096 without specifying the month. However, the year matches exactly. The '-01' in the claim represents the month (January), which is a reasonable precision level for a founding date when only the year is documented in the source. This is a confirmed match at the year level, with the month being a standard convention (January being the first month) rather than a contradiction.
