Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
default Collection<? extends ResponsibleParty>	getContacts()	Identification of, and means of communicating with, person(s) and organization(s) with responsibility for maintaining the resource.
default Date	getDateOfNextUpdate()	Deprecated. As of ISO 19115:2014, replaced by getMaintenanceDates() in order to enable inclusion of a DateType to describe the type of the date.
default MaintenanceFrequency	getMaintenanceAndUpdateFrequency()	Frequency with which changes and additions are made to the resource after the initial resource is completed.
default Collection<? extends CitationDate>	getMaintenanceDates()	Date information associated with maintenance of resource.
default Collection<? extends InternationalString>	getMaintenanceNotes()	Information regarding specific requirements for maintaining the resource.
default Collection<? extends Scope>	getMaintenanceScopes()	Type of resource and / or extent to which the maintenance information applies.
default Collection<? extends ScopeDescription>	getUpdateScopeDescriptions()	Deprecated. As of ISO 19115:2014, getUpdateScopes() and getUpdateScopeDescriptions() were combined into getMaintenanceScopes() in order to allow specifying a scope that includes a spatial and temporal extent.
default Collection<ScopeCode>	getUpdateScopes()	Deprecated. As of ISO 19115:2014, getUpdateScopes() and getUpdateScopeDescriptions() were combined into getMaintenanceScopes() in order to allow specifying a scope that includes a spatial and temporal extent.

Method Details

getMaintenanceAndUpdateFrequency

@UML(identifier="maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default MaintenanceFrequency getMaintenanceAndUpdateFrequency()

Frequency with which changes and additions are made to the resource after the initial resource is completed.

Returns:

frequency with which changes and additions are made to the resource.

getMaintenanceDates

@UML(identifier="maintenanceDate",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default Collection<? extends CitationDate> getMaintenanceDates()

Date information associated with maintenance of resource. Returns an empty collection if none.

Returns:

date information associated with maintenance of resource.

Since:

3.1

getDateOfNextUpdate

@Deprecated(since="3.1")
@UML(identifier="dateOfNextUpdate",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115,
     version=2003)
default Date getDateOfNextUpdate()

Deprecated.

As of ISO 19115:2014, replaced by getMaintenanceDates() in order to enable inclusion of a DateType to describe the type of the date. Note that DateType.NEXT_UPDATE was added to that code list.

Scheduled revision date for resource.

Returns:

scheduled revision date, or null.

getUserDefinedMaintenanceFrequency

@UML(identifier="userDefinedMaintenanceFrequency",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default PeriodDuration getUserDefinedMaintenanceFrequency()

Maintenance period other than those defined.

Upcoming API change — standard time API
The return type of this method may change in GeoAPI 4.0. It may be replaced by the TemporalAmount from the standard time Java API. In order to anticipate that change, callers should assign the returned value to a TemporalAmount type instead of PeriodDuration.

Returns:

the maintenance period, or null.

getMaintenanceScopes

@UML(identifier="maintenanceScope",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default Collection<? extends Scope> getMaintenanceScopes()

Type of resource and / or extent to which the maintenance information applies.

Returns:

type of resource and / or extent to which the maintenance information applies, or null if none.

Since:

3.1

getUpdateScopes

@Deprecated(since="3.1")
@UML(identifier="updateScope",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115,
     version=2003)
default Collection<ScopeCode> getUpdateScopes()

Deprecated.

As of ISO 19115:2014, getUpdateScopes() and getUpdateScopeDescriptions() were combined into getMaintenanceScopes() in order to allow specifying a scope that includes a spatial and temporal extent.

Scope of data to which maintenance is applied.

Returns:

scope of data to which maintenance is applied.

getUpdateScopeDescriptions

@Deprecated(since="3.1")
@UML(identifier="updateScopeDescription",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115,
     version=2003)
default Collection<? extends ScopeDescription> getUpdateScopeDescriptions()

Deprecated.

As of ISO 19115:2014, getUpdateScopes() and getUpdateScopeDescriptions() were combined into getMaintenanceScopes() in order to allow specifying a scope that includes a spatial and temporal extent.

Additional information about the range or extent of the resource.

Returns:

additional information about the range or extent of the resource.

getMaintenanceNotes

@UML(identifier="maintenanceNote",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115)
default Collection<? extends InternationalString> getMaintenanceNotes()

Information regarding specific requirements for maintaining the resource.

Returns:

getContacts

@UML(identifier="contact",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19115,
     version=2003)
default Collection<? extends ResponsibleParty> getContacts()

Identification of, and means of communicating with, person(s) and organization(s) with responsibility for maintaining the resource.

Upcoming API change — generalization
As of ISO 19115:2014, ResponsibleParty is replaced by the Responsibility parent interface. This change may be applied in GeoAPI 4.0.

Returns:

means of communicating with person(s) and organization(s) with responsibility for maintaining the resource.
