dataType FITSTime

extends TimeInstant

Extension of TimeInstant for time expressed as a structured datetime string. The string representation of a datetime value should follow the FITS convention for representing dates (Hanish and Farris et al, 2001). The FITS standard is effectively ISO8601 format without the 'Z' tag to indicate UTC: YYYY-MM-DD['T'hh:mm:ss[.SSS]]. The TimeScale is provided in the associated TimeFrame.
