Depending on the format of the data message, this resulted in either an element with 2 XML attributes for holding the start time and the duration or two separate XML attributes based on the underlying Component identifier. For example, if REF_PERIOD were given a representation of time span, then in the Compact data format, it would be represented by two XML attributes; REF_PERIODStartTime (holding the start) and REF_PERIOD (holding the duration). If a new simple type is introduced in the SDMX schemas that can hold ISO 8601 time intervals, then this will no longer be necessary.

Since the time parameter in the query is paired with an operator, this also effectively represents a distinct range of time. Therefore, a system processing the query must simply match the data where the time period for requested parameter is encompassed by the time period resulting from value of the query parameter. The following table details how the operators should be interpreted for any time period provided as a parameter. 428 428 429 -(% style="width:1020.29px" %) 430 -|(% style="width:236px" %)**Operator**|(% style="width:781px" %)**Rule** 431 -|(% style="width:236px" %)Greater Than|(% style="width:781px" %)Any data after the last moment of the period 432 -|(% style="width:236px" %)Less Than|(% style="width:781px" %)Any data before the first moment of the period 433 -|(% style="width:236px" %)Greater Than or Equal To|(% style="width:781px" %)Any data on or after the first moment of the period 434 -|(% style="width:236px" %)Less Than or Equal To|(% style="width:781px" %)Any data on or before the last moment of the period 435 -|(% style="width:236px" %)Equal To|(% style="width:781px" %)Any data which falls on or after the first moment of the period and before or on the last moment of the period 453 +|**Operator**|**Rule** 454 +|Greater Than|Any data after the last moment of the period 455 +|Less Than|Any data before the first moment of the period 456 +|Greater Than or Equal To|Any data on or after the first moment of the period 457 +|Less Than or Equal To|Any data on or before the last moment of the period 458 +|Equal To|Any data which falls on or after the first moment of the period and before or on the last moment of the period 436 436 437 437 Reporting Time Periods as query parameters are handled like this: any data within the bounds of the reporting period for the year is matched, regardless of the actual start day of the reporting year. In addition, data reported against a normal calendar period is matched if it falls within the bounds of the time parameter based on a reporting year start day of January 1. When determining whether another reporting period falls within the bounds of a report period query parameter, one will have to take into account the actual time period to compare weeks and days to higher order report periods.
