Time-Spans are used to define the temporal extent of instances of E4 Period, E5 Event and any other phenomena valid for a certain time. An E52 Time-Span may be identified by one or more instances of E49 Time Appellation.\n\nSince our knowledge of history is imperfect, instances of E52 Time-Span can best be considered as approximations of the actual Time-Spans of temporal entities. The properties of E52 Time-Span are intended to allow these approximations to be expressed precisely. An extreme case of approximation, might, for example, define an E52 Time-Span having unknown beginning, end and duration. Used as a common E52 Time-Span for two events, it would nevertheless define them as being simultaneous, even if nothing else was known.\n\nAutomatic processing and querying of instances of E52 Time-Span is facilitated if data can be parsed into an E61 Time Primitive.\n\nExamples:\n- 1961\n- from 12-17-1993 to 12-8-1996\n- 14h30 - 16h22 4th July 1945\n- 9.30 am 1.1.1999 to 2.00 pm 1.1.1999\n- duration of the Ming Dynasty\n\nIn First Order Logic:\nE52(x) \u2283 E1(x)"@en . _:b36658 <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#someValuesFrom> <http://erlangen-crm.org/current/E2_Temporal_Entity> . _:b36660 <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#Restriction> . _:b36658 <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#onProperty> <http://erlangen-crm.org/current/P4i_is_time-span_of> . <http://erlangen-crm.org/current/E52_Time-Span> <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#subClassOf> _:b36660 . <http://erlangen-crm.org/current/E52_Time-Span> <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label> "E52 Time-Span"@en . _:b36658 <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#Restriction> . _:b36659 <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#Restriction> . <http://erlangen-crm.org/current/E52_Time-Span> <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#subClassOf> _:b36658 . <http://erlangen-crm.org/current/E52_Time-Span> <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#subClassOf> _:b36659 . _:b36659 <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#onProperty> <http://erlangen-crm.org/current/P84_had_at_most_duration> .
