public interface TemporalReferenceSystem extends ReferenceSystem
Provides information about a temporal reference system.This interface is similar to ReferenceSytem and may be deprecated in the future. It is made available currently in order to *exactly* match this ISO 19108 specification with a "domain of validity" association to an Extent.

Method Detail
-
getName
ReferenceIdentifier getName()
Provides a name that uniquely identifies the temporal referece system.Currently returns MD_Identifier, which is defined in ISO 19115, while ISO 19108 requires that RS_Identifier (defined in ISO 19111 and http://www.opengis.org/docs/03-073r1.zip) is returned. From the looks of it, org.geotools.api.referencing.ReferenceSystem could also fit the bill.
- Specified by:
getName
in interfaceIdentifiedObject
- Returns:
ReferenceIdentifier
for the temporal reference system
-
getDomainOfValidity
Extent getDomainOfValidity()
Identifies the space and time within which the reference system is applicable. The return type allows for describing both spatial and temporal extent. This attribute shall be used whenever an application schema includesTemporalPosition
s referenced to a reference system which has a valid extent that is less than the extent of a data set containing such values.Please note this is very similar to ReferenceSystem.getValidArea() from ISO 19115.
- Specified by:
getDomainOfValidity
in interfaceReferenceSystem
- Returns:
- The reference system valid domain, or
null
if not available.
