A clock provides a basis for defining temporal position within a day. A clock shall be used with a calendar in order to provide a complete description of a temporal position within a specific day.gml:TimeClock adds the following properties to those inherited from gml:TimeReferenceSystemType:- gml:referenceEvent is the name or description of an event, such as solar noon or sunrise, which fixes the position of the base scale of the clock.- gml:referenceTime specifies the time of day associated with the reference event expressed as a time of day in the given clock. The reference time is usually the origin of the clock scale. - gml:utcReference specifies the 24 hour local or UTC time that corresponds to the reference time.- gml:dateBasis contains or references the calendars that use this clock.
The attribute gml:id supports provision of a handle for the XML element representing a GML Object. Its use is mandatory for all GML objects. It is of XML type ID, so is constrained to be unique in the XML document within which it occurs.
