Package org.opengis.temporal

Interface Summary
Calendar A discrete temporal reference system that provides a basis for defining temporal position to a resolution of one day.
CalendarDate A data type that shall be used to identify temporal position within a calendar.
CalendarEra Characteristics of each calendar era.
Clock Provides a basis for defining temporal position within a day.
ClockTime A data type that shall be used to identify a temporal position within a day.
DateAndTime Provides a single data type for identifying a temporal position with a resolution of less than a day.
Duration A data type to be used for describing length or distance in the temporal dimension.
Instant A zero-dimensional geometric primitive that represents position in time, equivalent to a point in space.
IntervalLength A data type for intervals of time which supports the expression of duration in terms of a specified multiple of a single unit of time.
JulianDate The Julian day numbering system is a temporal coordinate system that has its origin at noon on 1 January 4713 BC in the Julian proleptic calendar.
OrdinalEra Provides a reference to the ordinal era in which the instant occurs.
OrdinalPosition A data type that shall be used for identifying temporal position within an ordinal temporal reference system.
OrdinalReferenceSystem Provides only the attributes inherited from temporal reference system.
Period A one-dimensional geometric primitive that represent extent in time.
PeriodDuration Uses the format specified by ISO 8601 for exchanging information about the duration of a period.

TemporalEdge One-dimensional topological primitive in time.
TemporalGeometricPrimitive An abstract class with two subclasses for representing a temporal instant and a temporal period.
TemporalNode A zero dimensional topological primitive in time.
TemporalObject Base interface for temporal object.
TemporalOrder Provides an operation for determining the position of this temporal primitive relative to another temporal primitive.
TemporalPosition Used for describing temporal positions referenced to other temporal reference systems.
TemporalPrimitive An abstract class that represents a non-decomposed element of geometry or topology of time.
TemporalReferenceSystem Provides information about a temporal reference system.
