Add subclass of temporal interval : connected temporal interval #173

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
As discussed at meeting. For example, Allen is defined on connected temporal 
intervals but BFO doesn't currently constrain temporal intervals at all other 
than that they be two-dimensional

The discussion tended towards adopting the ontological commitment  that the 
temporal projection of a history is a connected region. So no entities whose 
histories have temporal gaps (i.e. which do not exists for some period) between 
when they first exist and when they stop existing.

Alan will add "connected temporal interval". 
Define temporal projection of histories as connected temporal interval but 
document borderline cases - e.g. Body transplant, rebuilding a historical 
building (Dresden Cathedral). 

Barry will complement my initial draft with the fun stuff :)
