Hi, For what's worth, OPMV (http://purl.org/net/opmv/ns#) represents time information using concepts from the W3C Time ontology. The range of opmv:wasPerformedAt is a time:TemporalEntity, which can be either a time:Instant or time:Interval. The model decision is based on requirements from users. And properties opmv:wasStartedAt and opmv:wasEndedAt can be used to point to a time instant. The vocabulary also has terms to describe when an artifact was used or generated at a specific time instant. This is just to add another aspect of modeling opinion:) For those heard of OPMV for the first time, OPMV is an OWL-DL ontology based on OPM, but it is trying to be as lightweight as possible. cheers, Jun On 12/05/2011 13:05, Olaf Hartig wrote: > Hey > > (sorry, I messed something up with the email addresses - I sent some mails to > the old XG list - it should be fixed now) > > On Thursday 12 May 2011 13:42:30 Luc Moreau wrote: >> Olaf and Paul, >> [...] >> Time is important no doubt, and not made explicit in the scenario. >> What does it mean to be performedAt?
