Abstract
Temporal abstraction, the derivation of abstractions from time-stamped data, is one of the central processes in medical knowledge-based systems. Important types of temporal abstractions include periodic occurrences, trends, and other temporal patterns. This chapter discusses the derivation of periodic abstractions at a theoretical, domain-independent level, and in the context of a specific temporal ontology.
