Abstract

In this chapter we define partial interval order and partial semiorder structures. In order to ensure terminology coherence we require the following properties:

  1. (i)

    partial structures must coincide with corresponding total structures when R = ø;

  2. (ii)

    partial structures must coincide with a quasi order (partial preorder) structure when property I c I is satisfied and with a partial order structure when I = {(a,a), ∀ a ∈ A},

  3. (iii)

    partial structures must be compatible with a numerical representation.
