15.1.2 Description
This element can be used wherever the following element is referenced:
• kml:AbstractObjectGroup
The following elements can be used wherever this element is referenced:
• kml:TimeStamp • kml:TimeSpan
Time values encoded within elements that extend
kml:AbstractTimePrimitiveGroup
shall be in the context of the temporal reference system specified by ISO 8601, which uses the
Gregorian Calendar and 24 hour local or Coordinated Universal Time UTC. See also 9.6 kml:AbstractContainerGroup regarding the inheritance of the
kml:AbstractTimePrimitiveGroup
within KML feature hierarchies.

15.2.2 Description
This element can be used wherever the following element is referenced:
• kml:AbstractTimePrimitiveGroup
Specifies an extent in time bounded by begin and end temporal values. At least one of the child elements
kml:begin
and
kml:end
shall be encoded.
