DTV12 — DTV Issue: Inadequate guidance for application vocabularies

The Date-Time Vocabulary has multiple concepts about amounts of time (duration, duration value), and locations in time (time interval, time point, time point set, time period, time coordinate), but very little guidance as to which of these concepts should be the basis for application business vocabularies. DTV should add a rationale section or additional commentary in Annex C to explain which concepts should be used for what purposes in business vocabularies.

Table C.1 has a reference to a concept 'date' that does not exist.

The RTF recognizes the need to provide guidance to business analysts and other users. After some discussion, the RTF decided not to try to distinguish concepts that are “infrastructural” from “application concepts” within the body of the various vocabularies. Instead the need will be addressed by a revision of Annex C that provides the guidance. This issue is closely related to Issue 19336, and resolutions are merged into a single revision of Annex C.
