!CompositeTime [type]

Focal times differ significantly in their precision. While focal times of instrumentally located earthquakes are estimated precisely down to seconds, historic events have only incomplete time descriptions. Sometimes, even contradictory information about the rupture time exist. The CompositeTime type allows for such complex descriptions. If the specification is given with no greater accuracy than days (i.e., no time components are given), the date refers to local time. However, if time components are given, they have to refer to UTC. As an example, consider a historic earthquake in California, e.g., on 28 February 1730, with no time information given. Expressed in UTC, this day extends from 1730-02-28T08:00:00Z until 1730-03-01T08:00:00Z. Such a specification would be against intuition. Therefore, for date-time specifications without time components, local time is used. In the example, the CompositeTime attributes are simply year 1730, month 2, and day 28. In the corresponding time attribute of the origin, however, UTC has to be used. If the unknown time components are assumed to be zero, the value is 1730-02-28T08:00:00Z.
