Usage Advice

Use when

• Use when two events begin together and this one ends first — an opening act that starts a festival (the Allen STARTS link, an initial sub-span).

Avoid when

• Avoid confusing it with mereological gmeow:subEventOf (this is a temporal extent relation, not part-of) and avoid expecting transitive closure; starts is non-transitive.

How to use

• Assert gmeow:starts between the co-beginning gmeow:Event occurrences and read gmeow:startedBy as its inverse.

Examples

• ex:openingAct gmeow:starts ex:festival.
