A "object-oriented" weather forecast for specified region and time period given at specific time. The forecastTime is the "official release time" for the forecast, this may be somewhat different from the creationTime or latestModificationTime for this feature. An example: A forecaster creates the first version of the weather forecast for tomorrow evening today at 11:15. The forecast is to be published at noon today. The final edits are done at 11:45. In this case the forecastTime is 12:00 today, creationTime is 11:15, latestModificationTime is 11:45 and the validTime is 15:00 - 21:00 tomorrow.Zero or more data sources (such as numerical weather model runs, satellite images, weather observation data) used for making this forecast may be given using usedReferenceData properties.
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.
