Temporal Entity Definition

Definition

Temporal Entity Definition. How a temporal entity is defined. This may be in terms of a simple definition (like a date), a specification that unambiguously specifies the temporal entity, or a method for determing a date, instant or interval such that it is not known now but can be determined at some future time. The different ways that an instant or interrval can be determined, are themselves different kinds of Thing (Measures, Specifications or Methods) and therefore this class of Thing is a union of those possible ways of specifiying a temporal entity, and not a kind of Thing in its own right.
