Interface TimeCalendarEraType

All Superinterfaces:

AbstractGMLType, DefinitionType, EObject, Notifier

All Known Implementing Classes:

TimeCalendarEraTypeImpl

public interface TimeCalendarEraType
extends DefinitionType

A representation of the model object 'Time Calendar Era Type'. In every calendar, years are numbered relative to the date of a reference event that defines a calendar era. In this implementation, we omit the back-pointer "datingSystem".

The following features are supported:

• Reference Event
• Reference Date
• Julian Reference
• Epoch Of Use

See Also:

Gml311Package.getTimeCalendarEraType()

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
TimePeriodPropertyType	getEpochOfUse()	Returns the value of the 'Epoch Of Use' containment reference.
BigDecimal	getJulianReference()	Returns the value of the 'Julian Reference' attribute.
XMLGregorianCalendar	getReferenceDate()	Returns the value of the 'Reference Date' attribute.
StringOrRefType	getReferenceEvent()	Returns the value of the 'Reference Event' containment reference.
boolean	isSetReferenceDate()	Returns whether the value of the 'Reference Date' attribute is set.
void	setEpochOfUse(TimePeriodPropertyType value)	Sets the value of the 'Epoch Of Use' containment reference.
void	setJulianReference(BigDecimal value)	Sets the value of the 'Julian Reference' attribute.
void	setReferenceDate(XMLGregorianCalendar value)	Sets the value of the 'Reference Date' attribute.
void	setReferenceEvent(StringOrRefType value)	Sets the value of the 'Reference Event' containment reference.
void	unsetReferenceDate()	Unsets the value of the 'Reference Date' attribute.

Method Detail

getReferenceEvent

StringOrRefType getReferenceEvent()

Returns the value of the 'Reference Event' containment reference. Name or description of a mythical or historic event which fixes the position of the base scale of the calendar era.

Returns:

the value of the 'Reference Event' containment reference.

See Also:

setReferenceEvent(StringOrRefType), Gml311Package.getTimeCalendarEraType_ReferenceEvent()

setReferenceEvent

void setReferenceEvent(StringOrRefType value)

Sets the value of the 'Reference Event' containment reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Reference Event' containment reference.

See Also:

getReferenceEvent()

getReferenceDate

XMLGregorianCalendar getReferenceDate()

Returns the value of the 'Reference Date' attribute. The default value is "0001-01-01". Date of the referenceEvent expressed as a date in the given calendar. In most calendars, this date is the origin (i.e., the first day) of the scale, but this is not always true.

Returns:

the value of the 'Reference Date' attribute.

See Also:

isSetReferenceDate(), unsetReferenceDate(), setReferenceDate(XMLGregorianCalendar), Gml311Package.getTimeCalendarEraType_ReferenceDate()

setReferenceDate

void setReferenceDate(XMLGregorianCalendar value)

Sets the value of the 'Reference Date' attribute.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Reference Date' attribute.

See Also:

isSetReferenceDate(), unsetReferenceDate(), getReferenceDate()

unsetReferenceDate

void unsetReferenceDate()

Unsets the value of the 'Reference Date' attribute.

See Also:

isSetReferenceDate(), getReferenceDate(), setReferenceDate(XMLGregorianCalendar)

isSetReferenceDate

boolean isSetReferenceDate()

Returns whether the value of the 'Reference Date' attribute is set.

Returns:

whether the value of the 'Reference Date' attribute is set.

See Also:

unsetReferenceDate(), getReferenceDate(), setReferenceDate(XMLGregorianCalendar)

getJulianReference

BigDecimal getJulianReference()

Returns the value of the 'Julian Reference' attribute. Julian date that corresponds to the reference date. The Julian day numbering system is a temporal coordinate system that has an origin earlier than any known calendar, at noon on 1 January 4713 BC in the Julian proleptic calendar. The Julian day number is an integer value; the Julian date is a decimal value that allows greater resolution. Transforming calendar dates to and from Julian dates provides a relatively simple basis for transforming dates from one calendar to another.

Returns:

the value of the 'Julian Reference' attribute.

See Also:

setJulianReference(BigDecimal), Gml311Package.getTimeCalendarEraType_JulianReference()

setJulianReference

void setJulianReference(BigDecimal value)

Sets the value of the 'Julian Reference' attribute.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Julian Reference' attribute.

See Also:

getJulianReference()

getEpochOfUse

TimePeriodPropertyType getEpochOfUse()

Returns the value of the 'Epoch Of Use' containment reference. Period for which the calendar era was used as a basis for dating.

Returns:

the value of the 'Epoch Of Use' containment reference.

See Also:

setEpochOfUse(TimePeriodPropertyType), Gml311Package.getTimeCalendarEraType_EpochOfUse()

setEpochOfUse

void setEpochOfUse(TimePeriodPropertyType value)

Sets the value of the 'Epoch Of Use' containment reference.

Parameters:

value - the new value of the 'Epoch Of Use' containment reference.
