Abstract
In this chapter we elaborate on the notion of time granularity, identifying structural properties, relationships, and symbolic representations. When time granularities are used within specific domains or applications, they are usually restricted to a subset of those satisfying the very general definition given in Chap. 1.
The calendar is intolerable to all wisdom, the horror of all astronomy, and a laughing-stock for a mathematician’s point of view.
Roger Bacon, 1267
