Description

It would be helpful to clarify the use of 24:00:00 and 00:00:00 (or 24:00 and 00:00 or 24 and 00) in representing midnight in the .start and .end fields of the following CIM Compound Classes:
DateTimeInterval
TimeInterval

There appears to be an accepted practice to use the 24 form at the end of a time period and the 00 form at the beginning.

Proposed Solution

Investigate correctness of using the 24 form at the end of a time period and the 00 form at the beginning of a time period and update the documentation for the .start and .end attributes of the DateTimeInterval and TimeInterval classes.
