Abstract.

The paper addresses the analysis and rational reconstruction of the semantic structure and logic of the temporal aspects of the knowledge representation formalism of Conceptual Graphs. The approach identifies the associated temporal concepts and relations, and analyses the behaviour of the atomic components, such as individual identifiers, type and relational labels. The definitions and illustrative examples use the notation of Peirce logic.
