- Field Detail
  - DOMAIN_OF_VALIDITY_KEY
```
static final String DOMAIN_OF_VALIDITY_KEY
```
    Key for the "domainOfValidity" property to be given to the object factory createFoo(…) methods. This is used for setting the value to be returned by getDomainOfValidity().

  - SCOPE_KEY
```
static final String SCOPE_KEY
```
    Key for the "scope" property to be given to the object factory createFoo(…) methods. This is used for setting the value to be returned by getScope().

Extent getDomainOfValidity()
```
    Area or region or timeframe in which this (coordinate) reference system is valid.
    
    Returns:
    
    The reference system valid domain, or null if not available.
