Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
InternationalString	getInterval() Identifies the base interval for this temporal coordinate system as a unit of measure specified by ISO 31-1, or a multiple of one of those units, as specified by ISO 1000.
Date	getOrigin() Position of the origin of the scale on which the temporal coordinate system is based expressed as a date in the Gregorian calendar and time of day in UTC.
Date	transformCoord(TemporalCoordinate coordinates) Transforms a value of a coordinate within this temporal coordinate system and returns the equivalent date and time in the Gregorian Calendar and UTC
TemporalCoordinate	transformDateTime(Date datetime) Transforms a date and time in the Gregorian Calendar and UTC to an equivalent coordinate within this temporal coordinate system.

Method Detail

getOrigin

@UML(identifier="origin",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19108)
Date getOrigin()

Position of the origin of the scale on which the temporal coordinate system is based expressed as a date in the Gregorian calendar and time of day in UTC.

getInterval

@UML(identifier="interval",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19108)
InternationalString getInterval()

Identifies the base interval for this temporal coordinate system as a unit of measure specified by ISO 31-1, or a multiple of one of those units, as specified by ISO 1000.

transformCoord

@UML(identifier="transformCoord",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19108)
Date transformCoord(TemporalCoordinate coordinates)

Transforms a value of a coordinate within this temporal coordinate system and returns the equivalent date and time in the Gregorian Calendar and UTC

transformDateTime

@UML(identifier="transformDateTime",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19108)
TemporalCoordinate transformDateTime(Date datetime)

Transforms a date and time in the Gregorian Calendar and UTC to an equivalent coordinate within this temporal coordinate system.
