Introduction

Sometimes, we need to describe scenarios in which someone (e.g., a person) has a value (e.g., a particular role) during a particular time and for a particular context. Four different things are involved in these kinds of scenarios: 1. the entity having some value, e.g. a person or a document possessing a role or a status; 2. the value had by someone, e.g. a role or a status; 3. the time period during which the entity has that value, e.g. from April 2008 to September 2008; 4. the particular context that characterises the act of having that value, e.g. being a member of an institution or an editor of a particular journal. Thought as natural extension of the Time-indexed Situation pattern (http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/Submissions:TimeIndexedSituation), this ontological pattern, called Time-indexed Value in Context (TVC), is able to describe these kinds of scenarios.

Classes

value in timec back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://www.essepuntato.it/2012/04/tvc/ValueInTime

It defines a particular kind of time-indexed situation that represents a hub linking the entity having a particular value, the value itself and the temporal and contextual extents from which the entity-value relationship depends.

Having the role "graduate student" in a specific time (e.g., now) and context (e.g., "University of Bologna").

Object Properties

at timeop back to ToC or Object Property ToC

IRI: http://www.essepuntato.it/2012/04/tvc/atTime

It specifies the particular temporal instant or time period in which the situation takes place.

IRI: http://www.essepuntato.it/2012/04/tvc/hasValue

It links an entity (e.g., a Person) to a particular ValueInTime situation;

IRI: http://www.essepuntato.it/2012/04/tvc/withValue

It holds the value had by the entity taking part to the situation.

IRI: http://www.essepuntato.it/2012/04/tvc/withinContext

It links to the specific context within which the fact of the entity having the value is relevant.
