A timeslice encapsulates the time-varying properties of a dynamic feature--it must be extended to represent a timestamped projection of a feature. The dataSource property describes how the temporal data was acquired.
Database handle for the object. It is of XML type ID, so is constrained to be unique in the XML document within which it occurs. An external identifier for the object in the form of a URI may be constructed using standard XML and XPointer methods. This is done by concatenating the URI for the document, a fragment separator, and the value of the id attribute.
