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.

ConfidenceEllipsoid [type]
This class represents a description of the location uncertainty as a confidence ellipsoid with arbitrary orientation in space. The orientation of a rigid body in three-dimensional Euclidean space can be described by three parameters. We use the convention of Euler angles, which can be interpreted as a composition of three elemental rotations (i.e., rotations around a single axis). In the special case of Euler angles we use here, the angles are referred to as Tait-Bryan (or Cardan) angles. These angles may be familiar to the reader from their application in flight dynamics, and are referred to as heading (yaw, \psi), elevation (attitude, pitch, \phi), and bank (roll, \theta). For a definition of the angles, see the follwing figure (Tait-Bryan).
Through the three elemental rotations, a Cartesian system (x, y, z) centered at the epicenter, with the South-North direction x, the West-East direction y, and the downward vertical direction z, is transferred into a different Cartesian system (X, Y , Z) centered on the confidence ellipsoid. Here, X denotes the direction of the major axis, and Y denotes the direction of the minor axis of the ellipsoid. Note that Figure (Tait-Bryan) can be interpreted as a hypothetical view from the interior of the Earth to the inner face of a shell representing Earth’s surface. The three Tait-Bryan rotations are performed as follows: (i) a rotation about the Z axis with angle \psi (heading, or azimuth); (ii) a rotation about the Y axis with angle \phi (elevation, or plunge); and (iii) a rotation about the X axis with angle \theta (bank). Note that in the case of Tait-Bryan angles, the rotations are performed about the ellipsoid’s axes, not about the axes of the fixed (x, y, z) Cartesian system.
majorAxisPlunge corresponds to elevation (\phi), majorAxisAximuth corresponds to heading (\psi), and majorAxisRotation corresponds to bank (\theta).

 I propose a new hierarchical classification scheme for QuakeML-BED v1.3. I think ANTHROPOGENIC_EVENT should not be a first-level class and can be omitted from the classification, since for most categories it is obvious whether they are natural or anthropogenic.
