-----------------------------------

             Summary: add end date support for WMS time dimension
                 Key: GEOS-4957
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4957
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: WMS
    Affects Versions: 2.1.4
            Reporter: Ian Schneider
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
         Attachments: add-wms-dimension-end-date.patch

Add the ability to specify and optional 'end' attribute that allows a 'valid period' for a feature. Rational is that some features exist over a period of time.

If the TIME query contains one or more instant, the filter logic will select all features that contain the instant(s) in their valid period.

If the TIME query contains one or more ranges, the filter logic will select all features that have a valid period that overlaps the range(s).

The latter behavior could be modified to allow a contains relationship versus an intersect.
