    Enum Constant Description
    AFTER
    One after the other.
    BEFORE
    One before the other.
    BEGINS
    One being the beginning of the other.
    BEGUN_BY
    One being begun by the other.

    DURING_INV
    One is being held during the other.

    ENDS
    One being the ending of the other.
    IAFTER
    One immediately after than the other.
    IBEFORE

    IDENTITY
    Event identity.
    INCLUDES
    One including the other.
    IS_INCLUDED
    One being included in the other.
    SIMULTANEOUS
    Two event instances are judged simultaneous if they happen at the same time, or are temporally indistinguishable in context.

  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type Method Description
    static ILink.TLinkType valueOf​(java.lang.String name)
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
    static ILink.TLinkType[] values()
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

  • Enum Constant Details

    • BEFORE

      public static final ILink.TLinkType BEFORE
      One before the other.
      As in the following example between the events slayings and arrested:
      • The police looked into the slayings of 14 women. In six of the cases suspects have already been arrested.

    • AFTER

      public static final ILink.TLinkType AFTER
      One after the other.
      Inverse of BEFORE.
      So the two events examples in the BEFORE documentation can alternatively be annotated as expressing an after relation, if the directionality is changed.

    • INCLUDES

      public static final ILink.TLinkType INCLUDES
      One including the other.
      As is the case between the temporal expression and the event in the following example:
      • John arrived in Boston last Thursday.

    • IS_INCLUDED

      public static final ILink.TLinkType IS_INCLUDED
      One being included in the other. Inverse of INCLUDES.

    • DURING

      public static final ILink.TLinkType DURING
      One holds during the other.
      Specifically applicable to states or events that persist throughout a duration, for example:
      • James was CTO for two years.
      • John taught for 20 minutes on Monday.

    • DURING_INV

      public static final ILink.TLinkType DURING_INV
      One is being held during the other. Inverse of DURING.

    • SIMULTANEOUS

      public static final ILink.TLinkType SIMULTANEOUS
      Two event instances are judged simultaneous if they happen at the same time, or are temporally indistinguishable in context. I.e. occur close enough to the same time that further distinguishing their times makes no difference to the temporal interpretation of the text.

    • IAFTER

      public static final ILink.TLinkType IAFTER
      One immediately after than the other. Inverse of IBEFORE.

    • IBEFORE

      public static final ILink.TLinkType IBEFORE
      One immediately before the other.
      As in the following sentence between crash and died.
      • All passengers died when the plane crashed into the mountain.

    • IDENTITY

      public static final ILink.TLinkType IDENTITY
      Event identity.
      For example:
      • John drove to Boston. During his drive he ate a donut.

    • BEGINS

      public static final ILink.TLinkType BEGINS
      One being the beginning of the other.
      As holds between the first of the temporal expressions and the event in the following example:
      • John was in the gym between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

    • ENDS

      public static final ILink.TLinkType ENDS
      One being the ending of the other.
      For example:
      • John was in the gym between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

    • BEGUN_BY

      public static final ILink.TLinkType BEGUN_BY
      One being begun by the other. Inverse of BEGINS.

    • ENDED_BY

      public static final ILink.TLinkType ENDED_BY
      One being ended by the other. Inverse of ENDS.

  • Method Details

    • values

      public static ILink.TLinkType[] values()
      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.
      Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    • valueOf

      public static ILink.TLinkType valueOf​(java.lang.String name)
      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
      java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
      java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
