ELUCIDATION: a spans r. This is a primitive relation between an occurrent and the temporal region upon which the spatiotemporal region it occupies projects. [132-001]

occupies o projects_onto_temporal_region subPropertyOf spans

There is no evidence in the reference that spans is a subrelation of occupies

This currently conflicts(OWL global restrictions) with added axioms to handle: every spatiotemporal region occupies itself. I plan to re-implement the local reflexivity and then will put this in.

Status: Accepted

The subproperty axiom is gone and is is fixed in the reference (occupies has range spatiotemporal region rather than the previous spatiotemporal or temporal)

Doesn't this go after decision made in https://code.google.com/p/bfo/issues/detail?id=79?

I just closed that issue as fixed. Thanks for pointing that out.
