    • The term "time" is generally used for many close but different concepts, including:
      • instant [1] as an object — one point on the time axes. Being an object, it has no value;
      • time interval [2] as an object — part of the time axes limited by two instants. Being an object, it has no value;
      • date [3] as a quantity characterising an instant. As a quantity, it has a value which may be expressed in a variety of ways, for example "2014-04-26T09:42:36,75" in ISO standard format, or more colloquially such as "today, 9:42 a.m.";
      • duration [4] as a quantity characterizing a time interval. [5] As a quantity, it has a value, such as a number of minutes, or may be described in terms of the quantities (such as times and dates) of its beginning and end.

    • There are two kinds of temporal entities -- instants and intervals.
      • (1) (forall (t) (if (instant t) (temporalEntity t)))
      • (2) (forall (t) (if (interval t) (temporalEntity t)))
    • No assumptions are made about whether intervals _consist_ of instants. Rather one can specify relations between the two, such as that an instant begins or ends or is inside an interval.
