4 Information requirements

This clause specifies the information requirements for the Time interval application module. The information requirements are specified as the Application Reference Model (ARM) of this application module.

NOTE 1  A graphical representation of the information requirements is given in Annex C.

NOTE 2  The mapping specification is specified in 5.1. It shows how the information requirements are met by using common resources and constructs defined or imported in the MIM schema of this application module.

The following EXPRESS specification begins the Time_interval_arm schema and identifies the necessary external references.

EXPRESS specification:

*)
SCHEMA Time_interval_arm;
(*

4.1 Required AM ARMs

The following EXPRESS interface statements specify the elements imported from the ARMs of other application modules.

EXPRESS specification:

*)
USE FROM Event_arm;    --  ISO/TS 10303-1064

USE FROM Value_with_unit_arm;    --  ISO/TS 10303-1054
(*

NOTE 1   The schemas referenced above are specified in the following part of ISO 10303:

Event_arm ISO/TS 10303-1064
Value_with_unit_arm ISO/TS 10303-1054

NOTE 2   See Annex C, Figures C.1and C.2 for a graphical representation of this schema.

4.2 ARM entity definitions

This subclause specifies the ARM entities for this module. Each ARM application entity is an atomic element that embodies a unique application concept and contains attributes specifying the data elements of the entity. The ARM entities and definitions are specified below.

4.2.1 Time_interval   EXPRESS-GMapping table

A Time_interval is the identification of an intervening time.

EXPRESS specification:

*)
ENTITY Time_interval;
  id : STRING;
  name : STRING;
  description : OPTIONAL STRING;
END_ENTITY;
(*

Attribute definitions:

id: the identifier for the Time_interval.

name: the words by which the Time_interval is known.

description: the text that provides further information about the Time_interval. The value of this attribute need not be specified.

4.2.2 Time_interval_relationship   EXPRESS-GMapping table

A Time_interval_relationship is the association of two instances of Time_interval. The meaning of this association is specified in the relation_type attribute.

EXPRESS specification:

*)
ENTITY Time_interval_relationship;
  relation_type : STRING;
  description : STRING;
  relating_time_interval : Time_interval;
  related_time_interval : Time_interval;
END_ENTITY;
(*

Attribute definitions:

relation_type: the text that identifies the meaning of the relationship.

description: the text that provides further information about the Time_interval_relationship.

relating_time_interval: the first instance of Time_interval that is part of the relationship.

related_time_interval: the other instance of Time_interval. If one element of the relationship is dependent upon the other, this attribute shall be the dependent one.

4.2.3 Time_interval_with_bounds   EXPRESS-GMapping table

A Time_interval_with_bounds is a type of Time_interval. A Time_interval_with_bounds is bounded either on one side or both sides.

If neither secondary_bound nor Duration are specified, the time interval begins at the point in time identified by primary_bound and has no specified end point.

EXPRESS specification:

*)
ENTITY Time_interval_with_bounds
  SUBTYPE OF (Time_interval);
  primary_bound : OPTIONAL date_or_event;
  secondary_bound : OPTIONAL date_or_event;
  duration_from_primary_bound : OPTIONAL Duration;
WHERE
  WR1: NOT (EXISTS (secondary_bound) AND EXISTS (duration_from_primary_bound));
  WR2: EXISTS (primary_bound) OR EXISTS (secondary_bound);
END_ENTITY;
(*

Attribute definitions:

primary_bound: the bound of the Time_interval_with_bounds from which the length of the time interval is measured. The value of this attribute need not be specified.

secondary_bound: the other bound of the Time_interval_with_bounds. The value of this attribute need not be specified.

duration_from_primary_bound: the Duration that specifies the length of the time interval from the primary bound.

If positive, the Time_interval_with_bounds defines a lower bounded time interval, else an upper bounded time interval.

The value of this attribute need not be specified.

Formal propositions:

WR1: The secondary_bound and duration_from_primary_bound shall not be specified both for an instance of Time_interval_with_bounds.

WR2: Either the primary_bound or the secondary_bound or both shall be specified.
