    1919An optional time zone expression may be added at the end of the value. The letter `Z` is used to indicate Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). All other time zones are represented by their difference from Coordinated Universal Time in the format `+hh:mm`, or `-hh:mm`. These values may range from `-14:00` to `14:00`. For example, US Eastern Standard Time, which is five hours behind UTC, is represented as `-05:00`. If no time zone value is present, it is considered unknown; it is not assumed to be UTC.''

    21 At the time being, [http://kahlua.eecs.jacobs-university.de:8080/def/crs/OGC/0/ we provide] a first basic set of Temporal CRSs (T-CRSs) which (among others) are under review process by the OGC-NA authority and represents part of the effort of the newly born (public) OGC [http://external.opengeospatial.org/twiki_public/TemporalDWG/WebHome Temporal Domain Working Group]. These definitions are:

    24    * [http://kahlua.eecs.jacobs-university.de:8080/def/crs/OGC/0/Temporal?expand=none parametrized temporal CRS] (`OGC:Temporal`) : parametrized CRS for the user-friendly definition of a custom T-CRS: it resolves to a concrete definition of T-CRS as long as the ''epoch'' and the ''UoM'' are explicitly set in the query of the URI (and optionally an axis label and an axis direction: defaults are `'t'` and `'future'`). !UoMs can be defined as either i) [http://unitsofmeasure.org/ucum.html UCUM] `c/s` codes, ii) actionable URIs pointing to valid GML definition of !UoMs or iii) URIs like ''`http://www.opengis.net/def/uom/UCUM/0/<code>`'' (which the OGC SISSVoc resolver redirects to the UCUM web page and from which ''Petascope'' extracts the ''`<code>`''); please note that our ISO timestamp parser relies on UCUM codes, so using unconventional abbreviations or definitions is not recommended here.

    3636After defining it, then you might want to replace your `OGC:Temporal` parametrized URI of, say, Unix time, with your URI:

    4141'''Parametrizations''' are also useful when one needs to compound together more than one T-CRS of the same kind: this can happen especially e.g. when numerical models are applied daily (real time axis) targeting a set of future days (simulation time axis). Using the same T-CRS makes sense here (let's pick `OGC:AnsiDate` for example), but in order to avoid a clash in the labels of the axes we need to actually use two different URIs in the composition of the CRS, for instance:
    4242
    43    * real-time : [http://kahlua.eecs.jacobs-university.de:8080/def/crs/OGC/0/AnsiDate?axis-label=%22real_time%22 http://kahlua.eecs.jacobs-university.de:8080/def/crs/OGC/0/AnsiDate?axis-label="real_time"]
    44    * simulation-time : [http://kahlua.eecs.jacobs-university.de:8080/def/crs/OGC/0/AnsiDate?axis-label=%22simulation_time%22 http://kahlua.eecs.jacobs-university.de:8080/def/crs/OGC/0/AnsiDate?axis-label="simulation_time"]

    4646In case you want to exploits the parametrizations of 'OGC:Temporal' CRS or you want to create a new one, you can adopt the following UCUM-compliant time units:
