Scope note:
This property indicates that one E2 Temporal Entity immediately follows another.
It implies a particular order between the two entities: if A meets in time with B, then A must precede B. 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 "meets / met-by" relationships of Allen's temporal logic (Allen, 1983, pp. 832-843).
Examples:
- Early Saxon Period (E4) meets in time with Middle Saxon Period (E4)
In First Order Logic:
P119(x,y) ⊃ E2(x)
P119(x,y) ⊃ E2(y)
