The time-specific ooordinate transformation is an alternative approach to the time-dependent coordinate transformation. In this method the transformation parameter values are declared for a specified transformation reference epoch (an additional parameter for the transformation) and coordinates are adjusted to this epoch before the transformation is applied. This requires that the velocities for points whose coordinates are to be transformed are available. The time-specific transformation may then be applied as part of a concatenated coordinate operation in conjunction with one or two point motion operations (see EPSG Guidance Note 7-3 section 3) in two or three steps: 

i) change the source CRS Cartesian coordinates from their dataset coordinate epoch to the transformation reference epoch at which the time-specific transformation is valid;

ii) apply the Time-specific Position Vector transformation;

iii) change the target CRS Cartesian coordinates from the transformation reference epoch at which the time-specific transformation is valid to any other desired coordinate epoch.

The transformation reference epoch of the Time-specific Position Vector transformation is used as the target epoch (t2) in step (i) and as the source epoch (t1) in step (iii). It is not used in step (ii).
