public class TLcdGML32AbstractTimeSlice extends TLcdGML32AbstractGML
To describe an event — an action that occurs at an instant or over an interval of time — GML provides the gml:AbtractTimeSlice element. A timeslice encapsulates the time-varying properties of a dynamic feature -- it shall be extended to represent a time stamped projection of a specific feature. The gml:dataSource property describes how the temporal data was acquired. A gml:AbstractTimeSlice instance is a GML object that encapsulates updates of the dynamic—or volatile—properties that reflect some change event; it thus includes only those feature properties that have actually changed due to some process. gml:AbstractTimeSlice basically provides a facility for attribute-level time stamping, in contrast to the object-level time stamping of dynamic feature instances. The time slice can thus be viewed as event or process-oriented, whereas a snapshot is more state or structure-oriented. A timeslice has richer causality, whereas a snapshot merely portrays the status of the whole.

    • VALID_TIME_PROPERTY

      public static final TLcdDataProperty VALID_TIME_PROPERTY
      Data property that maps to the validTime element. The possible values for this property are instances of TLcdGML32TimePrimitiveProperty.
    • DATA_SOURCE_PROPERTY

      public static final TLcdDataProperty DATA_SOURCE_PROPERTY
      Data property that maps to the dataSource element. The possible values for this property are instances of TLcdGML32StringOrRef.

    • getValidTime

      public TLcdGML32AbstractTimePrimitive getValidTime()
      Returns the value of the property that maps to the validTime element.

      gml:validTime is a convenience property element.

      Returns:
      the value of the VALID_TIME_PROPERTY property.

    • setValidTime

      public void setValidTime(TLcdGML32AbstractTimePrimitive aValue)
      Sets the value of the property that maps to the validTime element.

      gml:validTime is a convenience property element.

      Parameters:
      aValue - the value to set for the VALID_TIME_PROPERTY property.
    • getDataSource

      public TLcdGML32StringOrRef getDataSource()
      Returns the value of the property that maps to the dataSource element.

      Evidence is represented by a simple gml:dataSource or gml:dataSourceReference property that indicates the source of the temporal data. The remote link attributes of the gml:dataSource element have been deprecated along with its current type.

      Returns:
      the value of the DATA_SOURCE_PROPERTY property.
    • setDataSource

      public void setDataSource(TLcdGML32StringOrRef aValue)
      Sets the value of the property that maps to the dataSource element.

      Evidence is represented by a simple gml:dataSource or gml:dataSourceReference property that indicates the source of the temporal data. The remote link attributes of the gml:dataSource element have been deprecated along with its current type.

      Parameters:
      aValue - the value to set for the DATA_SOURCE_PROPERTY property.
