      \brief A class to represent a trajectory data set.

      This class represents a view on a DataSet that
      contains observations of a trajectory.

      A trajectory represents the variation of spatial locations or boundaries of an 
      object over time. It is composed of an observation data set where one
      observed property is a geometry.
      The observations have a fixed object identity and measured geometries at controlled
      times.
