Class: GeneralTimingSpecification
Documentation: Definition: A set of points in time, specifying the timing of events and actions and the cyclical validity-patterns that may exist for certain kinds of information, such as phone numbers (evening, daytime), addresses (so called "snowbirds," residing closer to the equator during winter and farther from the equator during summer) and office hours.
The GTS data type has the following aspects:
*
GTS as a general set of points in time (SET
). From this aspect GTS answers whether any given point in time falls in the schedule described by the GTS value.
*
GTS as the combination of multiple periodic intervals of time. This aspect describes how both simple and complex repeat-patterns are specified with the GTS.
*
GTS as a generator of a sequence of intervals of point in time (LIST>). From this aspect, GTS can generate all occurrence intervals of an event or action, or all validity periods for a fact.
*
GTS as an expression-syntax defined for a calendar. This aspect is the GTS literal form.
