interval contains
- CURIE:
gmeow:intervalContains - IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/intervalContains
- Category: property
- Defined by:
gmeow:slices/temporal - Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)
Allen CONTAINS: this interval's extent strictly contains the related interval's extent. Transitive inverse of gmeow:intervalDuring. (= time:intervalContains)
Structure
Property shape: object property; gmeow:TimeInterval -> gmeow:TimeInterval
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:intervalContains from gmeow:TimeInterval to gmeow:TimeInterval when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice
Use when
- Use in projections rooted on the enclosing interval to state it strictly contains a shorter one — the natural direction when the outer span is the subject.
Avoid when
- Avoid asserting it directly when
gmeow:intervalDuringalready states the nesting; prefer the inner→outer direction and read this as its inverse.
How to use
- Let it follow by inversion from
gmeow:intervalDuring; transitive, so it chains across nested intervals (= time:intervalContains).
Examples
- ex:workday
gmeow:intervalContainsex:lunchBreak.
