interval meets

• CURIE: gmeow:intervalMeets
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/intervalMeets
• Category: property
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/temporal
• Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

Allen MEETS: this interval ends exactly when the related interval begins. NOT transitive. Inverse of gmeow:intervalMetBy. (= time:intervalMeets)

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:TimeInterval -> gmeow:TimeInterval

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:intervalMeets from gmeow:TimeInterval to gmeow:TimeInterval when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

# --- Allen relation: the talk's end instant is exactly the Q&A's start instant
#     (13:45:00Z), so they MEET — adjacency, not Allen "before" (which would need
#     a gap between them).

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use when one interval ends exactly where the next begins with no gap and no overlap — adjacent reigns, consecutive epochs sharing a boundary instant.

Avoid when

• Avoid when there is a gap (use gmeow:intervalBefore) or any overlap (use gmeow:intervalOverlaps); MEETS is the exact-touch case only, and it is NOT transitive.

How to use

• Assert between two abutting gmeow:TimeInterval individuals; the inverse gmeow:intervalMetBy follows automatically (= time:intervalMeets).
