public interface LifeCycleObject

specifies an object that has a begin and end in time. For example, a person has a birthday and - eventually - an obit, so that a person can be expressed as a LifeCycleObject. The same could apply to objects (with a build/destruction date), documents (with a creation/expiration date) or activities (begin/end time). If a date is unknown or not yet applicable (like getEndTime() for a living person), the corresponding method would return null.
