Interface ClockTime

All Superinterfaces:
TemporalPosition
All Known Subinterfaces:
DateAndTime

@UML(identifier="TM_ClockTime",
     specification=ISO_19108)
public interface ClockTime
extends TemporalPosition

A data type that shall be used to identify a temporal position within a day. Because temporal position cannot by itself completely identify a single temporal position; it shall be used with calendar date for that purpose. It may be also used to identify the time of occurrence of an event that recurs every day.


Method Summary
 Number[] getClockTime()
          A sequence of numbers with a structure similar to that of CalendarDate.

Method Detail

getClockTime

@UML(identifier="clkTime",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19108)
Number[] getClockTime()
A sequence of numbers with a structure similar to that of CalendarDate. The first number integer identifies a specific instance of the unit used at the highest level of the clock hierarchy, the second number identifies a specific instance of the unit used at the next lower level, and so on. All but the last number in the sequence shall be integers; the last number may be integer or real.

TODO:
Should we returns an array of some primitive type instead?, Method name doesn't match the UML attribute name.
