		<documentation>See ISO/DIS 19136 15.6.

A number of types and relationships are defined to represent the time-varying properties of geographic features. 

In a comprehensive treatment of spatiotemporal modeling, Langran (see Bibliography) distinguished three principal temporal entities: states, events, and evidence; the schema specified in the following Subclauses incorporates elements for each.</documentation>

Each time-stamped instance represents a ‘snapshot’ of a feature. The dynamic feature classes will normally be extended to suit particular applications.  A dynamic feature bears either a time stamp or a history.</documentation>

Note that the gml:DynamicFeatureCollection may be one of the following:

1.	A feature collection which consists of static feature members (members do not change in time) but which has properties of the collection object as a whole that do change in time .  

2.	A feature collection which consists of dynamic feature members (the members are gml:DynamicFeatures) but which also has properties of the collection as a whole that vary in time.</documentation>

		<annotation>

			<documentation>To describe an event — an action that occurs at an instant or over an interval of time — GML provides the gml:AbtractTimeSlice element. A timeslice encapsulates the time-varying properties of a dynamic feature -- it shall be extended to represent a time stamped projection of a specific feature. The gml:dataSource property describes how the temporal data was acquired.

A gml:AbstractTimeSlice instance is a GML object that encapsulates updates of the dynamic—or volatile—properties that reflect some change event; it thus includes only those feature properties that have actually changed due to some process.

gml:AbstractTimeSlice basically provides a facility for attribute-level time stamping, in contrast to the object-level time stamping of dynamic feature instances. 

The time slice can thus be viewed as event or process-oriented, whereas a snapshot is more state or structure-oriented. A timeslice has richer causality, whereas a snapshot merely portrays the status of the whole.

			<documentation>gml:MovingObjectStatus is one example of how gml:AbstractTimeSlice may be extended. This element provides a standard method to capture a record of the status of a moving object.

A gml:MovingObjectStatus element allows the user to describe the present location, along with the speed, bearing, acceleration and elevation of an object in a particular time slice.  

Additional information about the current status of the object may be recorded in the gml:status or gml:statusReference property elements.</documentation>
