interval overlaps
- CURIE:
gmeow:intervalOverlaps - IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/intervalOverlaps
- Category: property
- Defined by:
gmeow:slices/temporal - Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)
Allen OVERLAPS: this interval begins before and ends during the related interval. NOT transitive. Inverse of gmeow:intervalOverlappedBy. (= time:intervalOverlaps)
Structure
Property shape: object property; gmeow:TimeInterval -> gmeow:TimeInterval
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:intervalOverlaps from gmeow:TimeInterval to gmeow:TimeInterval when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice
Use when
- Use when one interval starts before another and ends partway into it — partial overlap with a shared middle stretch but distinct start and end.
Avoid when
- Avoid when one interval wholly contains the other (use gmeow:intervalContains/gmeow:intervalDuring) or they merely touch (use
gmeow:intervalMeets); OVERLAPS is the proper-partial case and is NOT transitive.
How to use
- Assert from the earlier-starting interval to the later one; the inverse
gmeow:intervalOverlappedByfollows automatically (= time:intervalOverlaps).

gmeow:intervalOverlapsex:secondReign.
