Scope note

Text

This property indicates that the domain temporal phenomenon is a part of the range temporal phenomenon, e.g. a simple event (domain) can be a component of a complex one (range), like a process.The two phenomena need not share the same substance, i.e. they need not belong to the same class. For example, the holding of a plan by a group (quality) may be part of a larger event or activity (perdurant). However, the temporal extent of the domain phenomenon must be within the temporal extent of the range phenomenon, or at least partially overlap. This property does not imply a notion of causality but simply of composition, in the broader sense, and can be specialized if necessary by more precise properties.
