P118 overlaps in time with (is overlapped in time by) in Version 4.1

Domain:
E2 Temporal Entity
Range:
E2 Temporal Entity
Subproperty of:
No subproperties found
Superproperty of: No superproperties found
Quantification:
many to many (0,n,0,n)
Scope Note:

This property identifies an overlap between the instances of E52 Time-Span of two instances of E2 Temporal Entity.

It implies a temporal order between the two entities: if A overlaps in time B, then A must start before B, and B must end after A. This property is only necessary if the relevant time spans are unknown (otherwise the relationship can be calculated).

This property is the same as the overlaps / overlapped-by relationships of Allen’s temporal logic (Allen, 1983, pp. 832-843).

Examples:
  • the Iron Age (E52) overlaps in time with the Roman period (E52)
