A Id in the MATSim framework is a string with no leading and trailing white spaces, no carriage returns, line feeds, tabs and spaces. These items will be replaced by the parser automatically, for further information see documentation of the xs:collapse restriction. This is the base type for all matsim objects which have an type-wide unique id. Be aware of the idRefType which has to be used in all cases where an Id is only referenced. This type can be used for all references to elements of type matsimObjectType. In contrast to the matsimObjectType this type has to be used for elements referencing an Id of an object defined elsewhere in the xml documents. This type is unfortunately quite central for the MATSim framework. One can store any type of parameter in the well-known, however redoubtable name/value format. The usage of this type should be avoided if other solutions exist! Convenience type for attributes specifying a time in seconds Like xs:time but allows hours > 24 This type can be used for all georeferenced data within the framework. As we try to avoid reimplementing GIS functionality this is a very limited basic type without spatial reference system information. However it seems to be useful to have a common type for such information, which can be extended if needed. A probability in the range [0,1]
