Re: OWL-time suggestions

Hi Simon,

    I have had a chance to have a look at the work that you have presented on Tuesday night. Here are some of the things that caught my eye:
1) time:inside has got time:Interval as Domain and time:Instant as Range. Maybe the domain must be the interval but range must be a date “xsd:dateTime”? Otherwise, it may increase the number of triples we have in triples for real-time data.

2) time:ProperInterval: I haven’t quite understood the purpose of this class. It may need to be renamed or clarified.

3) I don’t think that it is necessary to use the word “interval” in every interval properties. For instance, time:intervalOverlaps can be replaced by “time:overlaps”, time:intervalMetBy can be replaced by “time;metBy”, time:intervalStarts can be replaced by “time:starts” and so on.

4) time:hasBeginning and time:hasEnd can be replaced by “startsAtDate” and endsAtDate.

5) hasDuration can be replaced by “duration”.

6) There can be also a place to link it to TimeLine Ontology (http://motools.sourceforge.net/timeline/timeline.html) for DiscreteTimeLine where a data stream represented in digital timeline. For instance, the 3rd second of a data stream on matlab or another software is not the same with the physical timeline, which is the actual date. Therefore, one cannot export the analysed data in the rdf format in digital timeline. It needs to be specified. I was thinking that maybe this link could be established from Temporal Reference Systems Class?

1)      The ed draft refers to an obsolete version of XML Schema – it should be  the 2012 one here https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-2/. This should be fixable before the meeting next week?

2)      Can Jerry Hobbs and Feng Pan be appropriately acknowledged in the acknowledgement section?
