“…As for temporal individuals, time instants can be replaced with time intervals (equivalently, periods or stretches of time) connected by (a subset of) Allen's relations before, meets, overlaps, starts, during, equal, and finishes, and their inverses or suitable combinations [GMS04]. As in the case of instant-based domains, we may distinguish between discrete and dense domains, bounded and unbounded domains, linear, branching, and circular domains, and so on.…”
