CoverageFacet captures information about the coverage of a resource, focusing on its temporal validity and other non-geospatial aspects. It should not be confused with LocationFacet, which captures where a resource is located; CoverageFacet describes when a resource is valid and the scope of its applicability, not where it is located. Consider a dataset containing salinity measurements for a specific time period. What is essential for the information system is not the representation of the measured data itself (e.g., the salinity values), but the definition of the period of validity and other non-geographic coverage aspects of the dataset. This information is captured by CoverageFacet.

    Method
    Description
    String
    getCoverage()
    The value indicates the temporal validity or other non-geospatial "coverage" aspect of the dataset (see this Facet's own description — geospatial extent is LocationFacet's concern, not this one's).
    static CoverageFacet

    Returns a default instance of CoverageFacet
    void
    setCoverage(String coverage)
    Sets the value indicating the 'area' covered by the dataset.

    • getDefaultInstance

      static CoverageFacet getDefaultInstance()
      Returns a default instance of CoverageFacet
      Returns:
      a default instance of CoverageFacet

    • getCoverage

      @ISProperty(description="The temporal validity or other non-geospatial \"coverage\" aspect of the dataset (geospatial extent is LocationFacet\'s concern, not this one\'s).", mandatory=true) String getCoverage()
      The value indicates the temporal validity or other non-geospatial "coverage" aspect of the dataset (see this Facet's own description — geospatial extent is LocationFacet's concern, not this one's). Deliberately unconstrained: accepts any JSON-compatible value (string, number, object, array, ...) since the concrete shape of "coverage" is not known in advance. The Java API always exposes it as a String; clients needing the original submitted shape should read the instance via the REST API directly.
      Returns:
      the coverage

    • setCoverage

      void setCoverage(String coverage)
      Sets the value indicating the 'area' covered by the dataset.
      Parameters:
      coverage - the coverage
