FeatureCollection, PointFeatureCollection

public interface TrajectoryFeature
extends PointFeatureCollection

A set of observations along a 1 dimensional path, connected in space and time. The observations are ordered in time (in other words, the time dimension must increase monotonically along the trajectory).
