Enclosing interface:
ITimex
public static enum ITimex.TimexMod
extends java.lang.Enum<ITimex.TimexMod>
An enum that represents the twelve different Mod states an object may belong to.
Mod may belong to:
  • BEFORE
  • AFTER
  • ON_OR_BEFORE
  • ON_OR_AFTER
  • LESS_THAN
  • MORE_THAN
  • EQUAL_OR_LESS
  • EQUAL_OR_MORE
  • START
  • MID
  • END
  • APPROX
Inherited directly from TIDES: "In the TIMEX2 standard we use the MOD attribute to capture the semantics of modifiers within the scope of the TIMEX2 expression. There are values for MOD that apply only to points in time, values that apply only to durations, and values that can apply to either."

    Enum Constants 
    Enum Constant Description
    AFTER
    Point: less than (“less than a year ago”)

    EQUAL_OR_MORE
    Duration: at least (e.g., “...will be open at least 10 days”)
    LESS_THAN
    Duration: less than (e.g., “less than 2 hours long”) or nearly (e.g., "nearly four decades of experience")
