Temporal Frame

• CURIE: gmeow:TemporalFrame
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/TemporalFrame
• Category: class
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/temporal
• Box roles: CBox role, TBox role (What is this?)

A reference system for expressing time — the temporal counterpart of gmeow:ReferenceFrame. Decomposed into a TimeScale, an optional CalendarSystem, and an optional ReferencePosition. Every crisp instant or interval is asserted relative to a TemporalFrame (Principle 11).

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:ReferenceFrame, gufo:Object

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:TemporalFrame as a specialized kind of gmeow:ReferenceFrame, gufo:Object. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to name the time-reckoning system a dateTime is expressed in — the scale/calendar/position bundle every crisp instant or interval points at to satisfy the frame-relativity gate (P11).

Avoid when

• Avoid minting a bespoke frame when a seeded one (gmeow:temporalFrameUTCGregorian, gmeow:temporalFrameTAI, the per-calendar civil frames) already fits, and avoid using it as the timestamp value itself — the frame interprets the value, it is not the value.

How to use

• Decompose it into exactly one gmeow:frameTimeScale plus optional gmeow:frameCalendarSystem and gmeow:frameReferencePosition; reference it from instants via gmeow:inTemporalFrame and from intervals via gmeow:hasTemporalFrame.

Examples

• ex:myFrame a gmeow:TemporalFrame; gmeow:frameTimeScale gmeow:timeScaleUTC; gmeow:frameCalendarSystem gmeow:calendarGregorian.
