Sigma KEE - RecurrentTimeIntervalFn
KB Term: 
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
recurrent time interval
A function that is useful for generating recurring time intervals. For example, (RecurrentTimeIntervalFn (HourFn 6 Day)(HourFn 12 Day)) returns the Class of TimeIntervals beginning at 6 in the morning and ending at 12 noon. For another example, (RecurrentTimeInterval Saturday Sunday) returns the Class of all weekends. For still another example, (RecurrentTimeInterval June August) returns the Class containing the academic summer period.
Relationships      
InstancesabstractProperties or qualities as distinguished from any particular embodiment of the properties/qualities in a physical medium. Instances of Abstract can be said to exist in the same sense as mathematical objects such as sets and relations, but they cannot exist at a particular place and time without some physical encoding or embodiment.
 binary functionThe Class of Functions that require two arguments.
 entityThe universal class of individuals. This is the root node of the ontology.
 functionA Function is a term-forming Relation that maps from a n-tuple of arguments to a range and that associates this n-tuple with at most one range element. Note that the range is a Class, and each element of the range is an instance of the Class.
 inheritable relationThe class of Relations whose properties can be inherited downward in the class hierarchy via the subrelation Predicate.
 partial valued relationA Relation is a PartialValuedRelation just in case it is not a TotalValuedRelation, i.e. just in case assigning values to every argument position except the last one does not necessarily mean that there is a value assignment for the last argument position. Note that, if a Relation is both a PartialValuedRelation and a SingleValuedRelation, then it is a partial function.
 relationThe Class of relations. There are two kinds of Relation: Predicate and Function. Predicates and Functions both denote sets of ordered n-tuples. The difference between these two Classes is that Predicates cover formula-forming operators, while Functions cover term-forming operators.
 single valued relationA Relation is a SingleValuedRelation just in case an assignment of values to every argument position except the last one determines at most one assignment for the last argument position. Note that not all SingleValuedRelations are TotalValuedRelations.
 temporal relationThe Class of temporal Relations. This Class includes notions of (temporal) topology of intervals, (temporal) schemata, and (temporal) extension.
 ternary relationTernaryRelations relate three items. The two subclasses of TernaryRelation are TernaryPredicate and BinaryFunction.
