[mapserver-users] Define an End-Time attribute in WMS Time

[Andrea Peri]

Hi Jeff.

I was understanding the wms_timeextend as defined in the annex C3 of OGC.
AFAIK it is the domains of availability for the values in the
time-field in all the dataset

But is always one only attribute. This is ok for spot events. Instead
when there is a dataset where every feature is a start-date and an
end-date  of validity for every single feature of dataset.

As example:
the dataset of county boundaries. Sometime the county bounaries could
change so they have a startdate and an enddate.
So is need to define both: the end-date and the start-date using two
attribute fields.

I wrong to understand the wms_timeextend ?

Thx,
A.
