Interface Separation

All Known Subinterfaces:
Instant, Period, TemporalGeometricPrimitive

@UML(identifier="TM_Separation",
     specification=ISO_19108)
public interface Separation

Provides operations for calculating temporal length and distance.

TODO:
The Javadoc suggest that this interface should extends some kind of temporal geometric primitive.

Method Summary
 Duration distance(TemporalGeometricPrimitive other)
          Returns the distance from this temporal geometric primitive to another temporal geometric primitive.
 Duration length()
          Return the duration of this temporal geometric primitive.
 

Method Detail

distance

@UML(identifier="distance",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19108)
Duration distance(TemporalGeometricPrimitive other)
Returns the distance from this temporal geometric primitive to another temporal geometric primitive. This is the absolute value of the difference b/n their temporal positions.


length

@UML(identifier="length",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19108)
Duration length()
Return the duration of this temporal geometric primitive.
