Temporal Properties structure

Named Date

A Named Date would be when a restriction applies to a specified date which is named. For example, All Year or January. There are no further sub-categories of a Named Date.

Date Range

A Date Range is provided when a restriction applies between two dates and there will always be a start date and an end date. These two dates can be specified using two different data types: either StartDate and EndDate or StartMonthDay or EndMonthDay.

The StartDate and EndDate will always be used for Date Ranges for Special Designation features. These are formatted as YYYY-MM-DD, for example, 2016-09-20. The StartMonthDay and EndMonthDay will always be used for Access Restrictions and Turn Restrictions. These are formatted as --MM—DD, for example, -- 03—23.

Day Period
