See previous discussion as part of https://code.google.com/p/bfo/issues/detail?id=15 Goodwin's prototype OWL implementation: http://johngoodwin225.wordpress.com/2012/04/22/about-time/ with comment by Bijan re: completeness/performance

Java implementation: https://code.google.com/p/allenintervalrelationships

Not to be part of BFO core release, but to be addressed asap after release, in the context of organizing relations of the RO and considering BSPO.

Status: WontFix

Not sure I follow the connection to BPSO.

On the importance of adding these, rather than relying on an external java implementation:

Clearly if your aim is complete Allen interval inference on a set of individuals, an implementation outside of OWL would be more efficient. But current use case involves relationships between classes and a requirement for some relatively small subset of inference from the Allen algebra. Relations in OWL and implementation of the composition table as property chains are needed for this.
