Description

It seems useful to have a RelativeTime, i.e. offset w.r.t. some defined DateTime, such as a scan start. This would be quite useful in de-identifying some data. In some cases, the time of scan needs to be removed from the data, but it'd be painful to have to adjust all times in the file.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the existing DateTime type and the data-model or schema definitions used for streaming instrument data, then determine how a RelativeTime tied to a scan start would be represented and propagated. Done criteria are not specified beyond supporting relative timestamps for de-identification.
