Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	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.
