Request for modification of UCD: time.obs

hi all,

I propose modifying 'time.obs'.

This UCD is currently defined as: 'Observation on-time, duration'

However we are missing a UCD that identifies the time stamp associated with an observation: for example if data are collected between a 'time.obs.start' and a 'time.obs.end', frequently the mid point of this time interval is used to define the time of the observation.

I propose that 'time.obs' should be 'time stamp associated to the observation'.

A new UCD could be used to identify the duration of the observation: the obvious choice would be 'time.obs.duration'.

Best wishes,
Silvia
