origindesignates the origin of the timeline, i.e. the time at which it begins.

data.pointer
must point either to one of the <when> elements in its content, or to another <timeline> element.
If the absolute value for the time of origin is not known, an arbitrary time (such as 00:00) should be used.
unitspecifies the unit of time corresponding to the interval value of the timeline or of its constituent points in time.

資料類型
xsd:float { minExclusive = "0" } | "regular" | "irregular"
a positive number, or one of the two special values irregular or regular.
The value irregular indicates uncertainty about all the intervals in the timeline; the value regular indicates that all the intervals are evenly spaced, but the size of the intervals is not known; numeric values indicate evenly spaced values of the size specified. If individual points in time in the timeline are given different values for the interval attribute, those values locally override the value given in the timeline.
