Why is it important?

OWL-Time is theoretically sound implementation of Allen's temporal calculus, unfortunately restricted in application to applications concerning only contemporary time, due to the choice of representation of temporal position. This adaptation relaxes the restriction, while leaving existing applications unchanged.

Perspectives

It would be a shame to drive geologists, archaeologists, and people from cultures using different calendars, away to build new ontologies, when the underlying pieces are here!
