DTV — 10pm to 2am does not specified a time period

  • Key: DTV-47
  • Legacy Issue Number: 17556
  • Status: closed

  • Summary:

    In clause 8.6 of the beta-2 specification, the verb concepts ‘time point1 through time point2 specifies time interval’ and ‘time point1 to time point2 specifies time interval’ do not work for the example ‘10pm to 2am’. Reason: the Definitions of these verb concepts form a time point sequence over the time between the two time points, but for this example, the time point sequence “wraps around’ the end of the day of hours scale. And no time point sequence can do that.

  • Disposition Summary:

    Redefine 'time period' to drop the words "of exactly one time scale". Instead, add a Necessity that all the time points of a time period are on the same time scale. The purpose is to allow a time period to 'wrap around' the end of a finite time scale.

    Rework the glossary entries of 'time point1 through time point2 specifies time period' and 'time point1 through time point2 specifies time period' to specify how a time period is formed when the time points 'wrap around' a finite time scale.
