Containing Schema: temporal.xsd
Documentation:
Here we have collapsed the hierarchy of subtypes for temporal position in 19108 by defining a union of simple types for indicating temporal position relative to a specific reference system. Date and time may be indicated with varying degrees of precision: year, year-month, date, or dateTime (all ISO 8601 format). Note that the dateTime type does not allow right-truncation (i.e. omitting seconds). An ordinal era may be referenced via URI, and a decimal value can be used to indicate the distance from the scale origin (e.g. UNIX time, GPS calendar).
