'Name or description of a mythical or historic event which fixes the position of the base scale of the calendar era.'

<gml:referenceDate> date </gml:referenceDate> [0..1]

'Date of the referenceEvent expressed as a date in the given calendar. In most calendars, this date is the origin (i.e., the first day) of the scale, but this is not always true.'

<gml:julianReference> decimal </gml:julianReference> [1]

'Julian date that corresponds to the reference date. The Julian day numbering system is a temporal coordinate system that has an origin earlier than any known calendar, at noon on 1 January 4713 BC in the Julian proleptic calendar. The Julian day number is an integer value; the Julian date is a decimal value that allows greater resolution. Transforming calendar dates to and from Julian dates provides a relatively simple basis for transforming dates from one calendar to another.'

<gml:epochOfUse> gml:TimePeriodPropertyType </gml:epochOfUse> [1]

'Period for which the calendar era was used as a basis for dating.'
