If yes, I agree transitivity does not necessarily hold. If no, transitivity holds. from Jim's earlier comprehensive message, I gather that the answer is not: > each entity therefore represents one full characterization of some thing (and only one - they are unambiguous w.r.t. everything being asserted) . but also please see my reply to Jim, with the suggestion that temporal overlaps ought to be reintroduced. But we've been there before: entity records do not mention temporal validity. So if temporal overlaps are an argument against transitivity in this case, then I believe the best we can do is remove transitivity and do a bit of hand-waiving when asked about it :-) -PaoloReceived on Wednesday, 18 January 2012 13:40:20 GMT
