Category: property
Defined by: gmeow:slices/events
Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

Allen OVERLAPS: this event begins before, and ends during, the related event (their extents partially overlap). NOT transitive. Inverse of gmeow:overlappedBy. (= time:intervalOverlaps; TEO overlaps.)

Structure

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

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:overlaps from gmeow:Event to gmeow:Event when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice

Use when

Use when one event begins before and ends during another so their extents partially overlap — the Allen OVERLAPS link.

Avoid when

Avoid it when one extent fully contains the other (use gmeow:during / gmeow:contains) or they merely abut (gmeow:meets); overlaps is NOT transitive.

How to use

Assert gmeow:overlaps between the partially-overlapping gmeow:Event occurrences and read gmeow:overlappedBy as its inverse; no closure follows.

Examples

ex:protest gmeow:overlaps ex:curfew.
