RE: OWL Time Ontology to Proposed Recommendation?

Simon, François, 

I have no more information to add about implementations. I had hoped that colleagues at the Met Office could use the 'at risk' terms as part of a test suite for WKT for Temporal CRS, this is too uncertain and certainly too far away.

I would argue that the 'at risk' terms be retained for completeness, otherwise we would be open to the criticism of 'why have you left this obvious hole that could be completed by an obvious extension?'.

But I am not an ontologist, and would be happy to follow Simon's judgement on the way forward.

Chris
