Examples

Value
7pm to 9pm on Jan 1, 2001; fiscal year 2023 (according to some particular definition of fiscal year); the week starting at midnight of January 12, 2023 and lasting exactly 168 hours.

Comments

  • An ongoing state of affairs with an unknown end time in the future cannot be a time interval; e.g. the lifespan of a living person cannot be a time interval, as the end time is unknown.
  • This is distinct from a duration, which describes how long a time interval lasts (e.g., one hour; 3 days; 22 minutes).

Notes

  • OWL subClassOf restrictions: =1endDateTime; bnode; =1startDateTime

    comments:
    - This property is used to describe instance data which is not part of the ontology.
      A definition and a description have different semantics. Use skos:definition
      for a statement of the meaning of a thing and gist:description to describe a
      thing's attributes, characteristics, or features.
    examples:
    - value: A person does not have a definition, but might be described as being
        six feet tall with brown hair and blue eyes; an ontology class or taxonomy
        term has a definition.
    - value: '''The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in midtown
        Manhattan in New York City. It was designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon and built
        from 1930 to 1931.'''
