Time-Span – E52
E52 Time-Span
Subclass of:
Scope note:
This class comprises abstract temporal extents, in the sense of Galilean physics, having a beginning, an end and a duration.
Instances of E52 Time-Span have no semantic connotations about phenomena happening within the temporal extent they represent. They do not convey any meaning other than a positioning on the “time-line” of chronology. The actual extent of an instance of E52 Time-Span can be approximated by properties of E52 Time-Span giving inner and outer bounds in the form of dates (instances of E61 Time Primitive). Comparing knowledge about time-spans is fundamental for chronological reasoning.
Some instances of E52 Time-Span may be defined as the actual, in principle observable, temporal extent of instances of E2 Temporal Entity via the property P4 has time-span (is time-span of): E52 Time-Span. They constitute phenomenal time-spans as defined in CRMgeo (Doerr & Hiebel 2013). Since our knowledge of history is imperfect and physical phenomena are fuzzy in nature, the extent of phenomenal time-spans can only be described in approximation. An extreme case of approximation, might, for example, define an instance of E52 Time-Span having unknown beginning, end and duration. It may, nevertheless, be associated with other descriptions by which we can infer knowledge about it, such as in relative chronologies.
Some instances of E52 may be defined precisely as representing a declaration of a temporal extent, as, for instance, done in a business contract. They constitute declarative time-spans as defined in CRMgeo (Doerr & Hiebel 2013) and can be described via the property E61 Time Primitive P170 defines time (time is defined by): E52 Time-Span.
When used as a common E52 Time-Span for two events, it will nevertheless describe them as being simultaneous, even if nothing else is known.
Examples:
1961
From 12-17-1993 to 12-8-1996
14h30 – 16h22 4th July 1945
9.30 am 1.1.1999 to 2.00 pm 1.1.1999
the time-span of the Ming Dynasty (Chan, 2011)
In First Order Logic:
- E52(x) ⇒ E1(x)
Outgoing properties:
- crm:P79 beginning is qualified by (0,n:0,1) → crm:E62 String
- crm:P80 end is qualified by (0,n:0,1) → crm:E62 String
- crm:P81 ongoing throughout (0,n:1,n) → crm:E61 Time Primitive
- crm:P82 at some time within (0,n:1,n) → crm:E61 Time Primitive
- crm:P86 falls within (contains) (0,n:0,n) → crm:E52 Time-Span
- crm:P191 had duration (was duration of) (1,1:1,1) → crm:E54 Dimension
Incoming properties:
- crm:E2 Temporal Entity → crm:P4 has time-span (is time-span of) (0,n:1,1)
- crm:E52 Time-Span → crm:P86 falls within (contains) (0,n:0,n)
- crm:E92 Spacetime Volume → crm:P160 has temporal projection (is temporal projection of) (0,n:1,1)
- crm:E93 Presence → crm:P164 is temporally specified by (temporally specifies) (0,n:1,1)
- crm:E61 Time Primitive → crm:P170 defines time (time is defined by) (0,n:0,1)

| Cette classe comprend des étendues temporelles abstraites, au sens de la physique galiléenne, ayant un début, une fin et une durée.Les instances de E52_Intervalle_temporel n'ont aucune connotation sémantique au sujet des phénomènes se produisant dans l'étendue temporelle qu'elles représentent. Elles ne véhiculent aucun autre sens que celui du positionnement sur la « ligne du temps » de la chronologie. L'étendue réelle d'une instance de E52_Intervalle_temporel peut être estimée en se référant aux propriétés de E52_Intervalle_temporel qui indiquent des limites internes et externes sous la forme de dates (instances de E61_Primitive_temporelle). La comparaison des connaissances sur les intervalles de temps est fondamentale pour le raisonnement chronologique.Certaines instances de E52_Intervalle_temporel peuvent être définies comme l'étendue temporelle réelle, en principe observable, d'instances de E2_Entité_temporelle au moyen de la propriété P4_a_pour_intervalle_temporel (est_l'intervalle_temporel_de) : E52_Intervalle_temporel. Ils constituent des intervalles de temps phénoménaux tels que définis dans CRMgeo (Dœrr et Hiebel 2013). Puisque la connaissance de l'histoire est imparfaite et que les phénomènes physiques sont flous de nature, l'étendue d'intervalles temporels phénoménaux ne peut être décrite qu'approximativement. Un cas extrême d'approximation pourrait, par exemple, définir une instance de E52_Intervalle_temporel ayant un début, une fin et une durée inconnus. Cette instance pourrait néanmoins être associée à d'autres descriptions grâce auxquelles il serait possible d'inférer des informations, comme dans le cas des chronologies relatives.Certaines instances de E52_Intervalle_temporel peuvent être définies précisément comme représentant une déclaration d'une étendue temporelle, par exemple, réalisée dans le cadre d'un contrat commercial. Elles constituent des intervalles de temps déclaratifs tels que définis dans CRMgeo (Dœrr & Hiebel 2013) et peuvent être décrites au moyen de la propriété E61_Primitive_temporelle P170_temps_défini_par (définit_le_temps) : E52_Intervalle_temporel.Lorsqu'une même instance de E52_Intervalle_temporel est utilisée pour deux évènements, celle-ci décrit ces derniers comme étant simultanés, même si rien d'autre n"est connu. | fr | CIDOC CRM version 7.1.3 | 0 |
