The following calendars have been implemented.
- Gregorian Calendar - The Gregorian calendar is a calendar used
in many parts of the world, and consequently is familiar to most potential
users of tZaman. This implementation supports only
anno domini dates, that is A.D. or C.E. dates.
We have implemented several granularities
in the calendar, including , ,
, , , ,
and .
Further details can be found in the
XML specification for the calendar and the java code.
- The University of Arizona Academic Calendar - This calendar spans only
a four year period from August 21, 2000 to August 11, 2004.
An Academic calendar
limits to a 14-hour academic day, and introduces
15-week .
- The University of Arizona (Limited) Calendric System -
This is a calendric system that starts on January 1, 0001.
From January 1, 0001 to August 20, 2000, the Gregorian Calendar is used.
From August 21, 2000 to August 11, 2004 the U of A Academic Calendar is used.
For dates after August 11, 2004, the Gregorian Calendar is again used.
This is a limited calendric system because the U of A Academic Calendar
does not take into account holidays or other non-class days and only
spans 4 years (and, of course, the U of A has been open for longer
than that).
