Method Details
- getOrigin
  
  @UML(identifier="origin", obligation=MANDATORY, specification=ISO_19111) Date getOrigin()
  
  Date and time to which temporal coordinates are referenced.
  Upcoming API change — temporal schema
  As of Java 8, the java.time package is a better match for the different types of date defined by ISO 19108 (Temporal Schema) or ISO 19103. The return value of this method may be changed to Temporal in GeoAPI 4.0.
  
  Returns:
  
  date and time to which temporal coordinates are referenced.
