Temporal Link Type Defining Diagram
"Associative Category" capable of classifying "Temporal Phenomenon Links" and "Timepoint Associations".
The types of link are:
A starts and ends before B starts
A starts before B starts and ends when B starts
A starts before B starts and ends after B starts but before it ends
A starts before B starts and ends when B ends
A starts before B starts and ends after B ends
A starts when B starts and ends when B starts
A starts when B starts and ends after B starts and before B ends
A starts when B starts and ends when B ends
A starts when B starts and ends after B ends
A starts after B starts but before it ends and ends before B ends
A starts after B starts but before it ends and ends when B ends
A starts after B starts but before it ends and ends after B ends
A starts when B ends and ends when B ends
A starts when B ends and ends after B ends
A starts and ends after B ends.
For linked objects which are of zero duration, the start and end are simultaneous.

Associative Category
Temporal Phenomenon Link Defining Diagram
Link between two "Subject Phenomena" based on time.
Note that for Activities, the start and end are assumed to be that of performance.
Associations To:
Zero, One or Many classifier Only One Temporal Link Type
Zero, One or Many from Only One Subject Phenomenon
Zero, One or Many to Only One Subject Phenomenon
Supertypes:
Phenomenon Qualifier
Temporal Resource Defining Diagram
"Resource Held" whose availability may be expressed as a rate.
Temporal Resources are available only through the "Resource Activities" in which they are used. Examples of these are:
Shift rotas (for people)
Booking rotas for buildings, rooms etc.
Temporal Resources may be composed of other Temporal Resources.
Attributes:
Rate Of Availability (M) (Rate)
The rate at which the resource is available (eg 40 hours / week)
Associations From:
Only One resource Zero, One or Many Temporal Resource Act
Supertypes:
Resource Held
Temporal Resource Act Defining Diagram
"Activity" making a "Temporal Resource" available for a specified period.
Examples include:
Staff roster
Room schedule
Operating theatre session list.
Associations From:
Only One source Zero, One or Many Temporal Resource For Activity
Associations To:
Zero, One or Many resource Only One Temporal Resource
Supertypes:
Activity
Temporal Resource For Activity Defining Diagram
"Actual Resource For Activity" using a specific "Temporal Resource".
Associations To:
Zero, One or Many source Only One Temporal Resource Act
Supertypes:
Actual Resource For Activity
Text Valued Characteristic Defining Diagram
"Subject Characteristic" having a value expressed by a text string.
The string may be structured or unstructured. Examples include pathology and radiology reports, unstructured assessments as well as amplification and addenda to phenomena. For example, an informal assessment may be recorded as a Text Valued
Characteristic. The obvious drawback is that any automated analysis of these is difficult if not impossible.
Attributes:
Text (M) (String)
One or more words.
Supertypes:
Subject Characteristic
Text Valued Qualifier Defining Diagram
"Phenomenon Qualifier" having a value expressed by a text string.
The string may be structured or unstructured. Examples include pathology and radiology reports, unstructured assessments as well as amplification and addenda to phenomena or qualifiers with other values. For example, an Image Valued Qualifier
containing an X-ray image may be qualified by a report from the radiologist.
Attributes:
Text (M) (String)
One or more words.
Supertypes:
Phenomenon Qualifier
