Abstract
In this paper we present a model for the representation and handling of fuzzy temporal references. We define the concepts of date, time extent, and interval, according to the formalism of possibility theory. We introduce relations between the temporal entities dates and intervals, interpreted as constraints on the distance between dates and projected onto Fuzzy Temporal Constraint Satisfaction Networks. We introduce a language for the representation and manipulation of temporal entities and relations, which captures some of the terms we use in our expressions in the natural language and therefore, it is a flexible and powerful interface for those systems in which the representation of fuzzy temporal information is necessary. Our approach permits a common interpretation of qualitative and quantitative temporal relations, facilitating the relativization of the meaning of the temporal relations to each specific application context and the verification of relations between temporal entities.
