Bibliography

Defines concepts for describing temporal characteristics of geographic information. It depends upon existing information technology standards for the interchange of temporal information. Also provides a basis for defining temporal feature attributes, feature operations, and feature associations, and for defining the temporal aspects of metadata about geographic information.
