Section 5.7. Enjoy.

You really don't want to. It's dealing with the bureaucracy surrounding like this that gives me nightmares.

Hokay, try section 5.7[^] on for size. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it.

Not sure what the issue is. Looks like standard standards speech.
Opacity, the new Transparency.
Obviously temporal extents is much more intuitive than from/to.

Worse is 5.19 - Data Format (Optional). WHAT? So I could tell you what format the data supplied is in, but since it's optional I'm not going to bother. And even if I do, since it's a free-text field good luck coping with whatever rubbish I do put in there. I spent years of my life dealing with the same BS in Edifact 'standards'. EDI was horrendous enough to work with on its own, but worse by far were the piss-poor agreed document formats produced by idiot bureaucrats who didn't have a clue (and wouldn't know what one was if it came up and bashed them over the head with a wisdom stick!) I'm glad some things never change :D

Sadly, this is something that our beloved government contract has forced on us. We had a meeting last week where we were told that we must conform to the Gemini standard, part of the Infinity Directive. I can tell certain things about the people who came up with this: 1. They are Star Trek fans. 2. They still live with their mothers, despite being in their 40s. 3. They are still virgins. 4. They attend Trek conventions, and are fluent in Klingon.

Well good luck with it - and watch out for standards busting agreements. That's another trick these morons love to use: sit around the table and agree on one thing. Then sit around another table and agree something completely contradictory. They don't amend the standard, of course, that would be far too reasonable - they just agree to bend it or break it in certain ways under certain circumstances. And don't expect any of that to be documented, due to "expediency" such standards perversion is generally held to be "common knowledge". I don't think I have words enough to describe how happy I am that I don't have to deal with it any more. On the plus side, though, such things can be quite lucrative :D

Yes, it is! ;P From / to couldn't have anything to do with mailing addresses, could it? I know it's a pain, but you do need to disambiguate the from/to in a GIS. But then, I've been dealing with GIS on/off since '88. I've been dealing with government specs since '83. :wtf: My brain is probably infected, so not a good judge. :rolleyes:

Yup, and it certainly did for me when constituency boundaries were re-drawn in the 90's.

Could-a, should-a, would-a... got a better job, or profited from it. Happily I did both. And then retired on the proceeds. :)

Wow: Change from GEMINI v1.0: name changed from Date Can I come and work on your project? :laugh:
Dalek Dave: There are many words that some find offensive, Homosexuality, Alcoholism, Religion, Visual Basic, Manchester United, Butter. Pete o'Hanlon: If it wasn't insulting tools, I'd say you were dumber than a bag of spanners.
This is excellent. When I read, "Definition: date for the content of the data resource", I thought, "Why not call it 'Date'?". Clearly my thinking is so 1.0.

You owe me a new keyboard. Just spit my coffee all over this one reading your biography of the standard authors...
