    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:

    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:
