A utility service that provides support for date and time operations, such as differences between dates and times; concepts of dates and times that are 'later than,' 'earlier than,' or 'fall within' specified time periods; simple date and time addition and subtraction operations; and time zone handling. |
These operations provide support for the temporal nature of other entities, such as temporary access permissions; beginning and ending dates of loans and exhibitions; and searching and reporting based in part on date ranges (e.g. "objects accessioned within the last week").
Assumptions
- Deployments of the CollectionSpace service may be hosted in a different time zone than users of the service.
