Dear All,
I'd like to add the reasoning about the following in issue 499:
There was a question in the 46th meeting in Athens if the following
paragraph in scope note of P4 Period
"Consequently, an instance of E4 Period may occupy a number of disjoint
spacetime volumes, however there must not be a discontinuity in the
timespan covered by these spacetime volumes. This means that an instance
of E4 Period must be contiguous in time. If it has ended in all areas,
it has ended as a whole. However, it may end in one area before another,
such as in the Polynesian migration, and it continues as long as it is
ongoing in at least one area"
is obsolete, because the scope note of E92 STV states:
"Intersections of instances of E92 Spacetime Volume, E53 Place and E52
Timespan are also regarded as instances of E92 Spacetime Volume. An
instance of E92 Spacetime Volume is either contiguous or composed of a
finite number of contiguous subsets."
However, if intersections of instances of E92 STV should be instances of
E92 STV, contiguity in time will in general not be preserved.
Therefore the SIG decided on 26/2/2020
(a) to NOT delete the following paragraph
and to propose
(b) to change the cardinality of the temporal projection property of STV
→ P160 [it’s one to one and has to change]
The subset of instances of E92 STV which are instances of E4 Period by
IsA, are however contiguous in time. Since intersections of E4 Period
are not defined to be instances of E4 Period, there is no conflict that
they are still instances of E92 STV.
Since E93 Presence can be described as intersections of a spatially
unlimited, contiguous "time slice" of spacetime with an STV, instances
of E93 Presence defined for instances of E4 Period or E18 Physical Thing
are also contiguous in time.
Instances of E93 Presence defined for an STV not contiguous in time, may
or may not be contiguous in time depending where it "cuts through".
Best,
Martin
