Comparison of properties - timedb vs IANA

Topic Time database (timedb) IANA time zone database (tzdb)
Terminology Exactly one term for one kind of object
  • Terms are used interchangeably (region = zone)
  • Terms are used ambiguously (zone for IANA zones and real world zones)
Area/Continent
  • Strictly defined boundaries for all Continents
  • The East and the West boundary for America is each defined by exactly one meridian, allowing depiction on maps having America left-hand or right-hand, without cutting any continent apart from Antarctica.
  • Western boundary of America is the Umnak Meridian in the Bering Street. The Bering Strait as location for a reference meridian was already proposed at the International Meridian Conference in 1884, to avoid cutting continents.
 The corresponding IANA concept is named "area" and the extensions of these areas are poorly defined.
  • some zones that are located in an ocean are filed under an ocean (Indian/.., Atlantic/...), some under the nearest continent
  • names of zone data source files do sometimes agree with area names, and sometimes they don't and one cannot easily find the data
  • the boundaries of Antarctica do not adhere to the definition of the Antarctic Treaty
Area/Jurisdiction ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes for jurisdiction. ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes for countries. Some of the codes have been re-assigned, e.g. CS can refer to Czechoslovakia or Serbia and Montenegro.
Area/Jurisdiction Support for former jurisdictions at least back to 1946-01-01, the first full year where the UN existed. No support for former countries. E.g. no way to get data for ISO 3166 alpha-2 code DD (East Germany)
Area/Jurisdiction At any point in time (at least after 1946-01-01) the land surface is associated to a jurisdiction. Some areas are not associated to a country, e.g. the land of the ISO 3166 country "Bouvet Island" is not associated to any country.
Area/Sector The smallest territorial unit is named "sector". The smallest territorial unit is named "zone", but sometimes also referred to as region. The basic term "zone" is ambiguous, as there are also real world time zones.
Area/Sector A sector is defined by boundaries. A "zone" is defined as the territory around a reference location that had the same time since the cutoff point. Therefore, when time observation changes in the zone, or the cutoff point would be moved, the boundaries of the zone may change.
Area/Sector For any point in time, except for war time, the legal time in all territory of a sector is the same. For any point in time after 1970-01-01T00:00:00 clocks in a IANA zone have agreed.
Area/Sector The sectors cover the whole surface of the earth Some areas are not covered, e.g. no IANA zone exists the ISO 3166 country "Bouvet Island"
Area/Sector Each sector has exactly one SectorID. Some zones have multiple IDs via links. These links can
  • represent former IDs of the zone due to spelling change for the reference location
  • represent former IDs of the zone due to reference location change (Tel Aviv -> Jerusalem)
  • represent IDs of former zones (Vaduz links to Zurich)
Area/Sector A SectorID only contains alphanumeric characters, letters upper case. A zone ID contains ASCII letters and / and can contain -._
Area/Sector New sectors are created only by splitting and deprecating old sectors, so a user can know if an assignment of an ID to an object needs a check for correctness.

After a split, a zone retains the ID of the old zone. That means:

  • a user can link an object to a tzid, but get's no notification if later the object is located in a zone that has been split off.
Area/Sector Relations between deprecated sectors and the sectors that have been created out of them are published. No split history is explicitly published.
Area/Sector-Jurisdiction At any point in time no jurisdiction boundary is located inside a sector. Zones can be located in different former countries, e.g. Europe/Berlin is located in East Germany (DD) and West Germany (DE) prior to 1990.
Coverage Record all legal time
  • no time for the Norwegian Bouvet Island, while Norwegian government has defined it,
  • limited support for pre-1970 data
ZoneId For any point in time, for any country, a time zone acronym used for a sector that is located in that country refers to exactly one offset from a base time. For some points in time during DST observance in Australia, the acronyms EST and CST for time records in Australia can refer to different offsets from UTC, depending on whether a zone observes DST or not. That means for a given point in time during summer the offset from UTC and therefore UTC itself cannot be derived from the local time representation.
DataFormat Publication in
  • SQL (?)
  • as xCal/iCal (?)
  • IANA specific format, as far as that format supports the features of the tkdb.
 Publication in IANA specific format.

IdSystem

Name Regex Description
ContinentId /[4-9]/
JurisdictionId /[A-Z]{3}/

The ID for these should /not/ be the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes, as they have been re-assigned, e.g. CS stands for 1) Czechoslovakia and 2) Serbia and Montenegro. There exists no ISO codes for countries that did not exist after the first ISO 3166 publication.

It is proposed to use the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes and where needed the Private Use Area of that set.

These IDs could be used to relate source documents like laws and newspaper articles to the database.

RegionId
SectorId /[4-9][A-Z0-9]{2,}/ The first digit is the ContinentId. Further restriction likely.
  • There is no reference to a country (IANA zone sometimes to, e.g. those for Argentina)
  • There should be a Private Use Area in the SectorId space, to allow people that like to do different sectorization to create non-clashing SectorIds.
ZoneId /[A-Z]{4,}/ Maybe using acronyms similar to the Internationalized time point unique time zone abbreviations. Further restriction likely.

Name Boundary Description
Continent Fixed All surface of the earth belongs to exactly one continent.
District?
Jurisdiction Not fixed

A jurisdiction is a political entity. The concept is similar to the concept of country in ISO 3166-1. But the term jurisdiction is preferred:

  • to have the initial letter different from Continent
Region ?
Sector Fixed All land surface belongs to exactly one sector.

A sector

  • is located in exactly one Continent
  • has exactly one SectorId
  • is not divided by jurisdiction boundaries since 1946-01-01T00:00:00, except for time of war, when the boundaries between jurisdictions moved.
Ward? Not fixed Part of a zone, defined for zones that split during DST.
Zone Not fixed Real world time zone, e.g. Mountain Time Zone. For a given point in time located in one jurisdiction? That could contradict zones like Central European Time if there is no jurisdiction "Europe".
