True (but in different ways) for both V/A stream content, as well as discrete documents broadcast on a carousel. These items may, in the end, be referenced using different URI schemes, for which different rules for specifying time may be appropriate. >I believe that in most, if not all cases, the time dimension will be >specified by identifying the "event" (TV program, in ordinary >terminology), with perhaps in some cases an offset relative to the start >of the event, rather than by explicitly specifying a clock time. This is one way to do it that is more object-oriented and fits the object model much better. However, there is not agreement on the list that this is the (only) possible or useful solution. There are other possible URI designs that do not directly reference an EPG object, and thus might need absolute (GMT) time.
