چکیده
Complex temporal expressions are widely used in daily life. A calendars is one of the important examples for this kind of expressions. In this paper, we study the query language on general calendars. A set of operators for calendar algebra is formed. Several formulas are put forward for the purpose of query optimization. Other properties including monotonicity, closure and uniqueness of operators are studied.

Minimal Periodical Representations of Calendar Expressions
The formalization of time granularity, the study of computational methods to manipulate granularities and their applications have been the subject of much research in the recent years. This paper aims at filling the gap between symbolic representations defined thrugh calendar algebras and mathematical representations defined through periodical sets of instants. Considering a specific calendar a...
متن کاملHistory and Provenance of the “Chinese” Calendar in the Z?j-i ?lkh?n?
This article sheds light upon a “Chinese” calendar described in the Z?j-i ?lkh?n?. In previous studies, some characteristics of the calendar were ascribed to the “Uighurs” However, I will show that it was not originally associated with the Uighur. This “Chinese” calendar was brought to Iran by the Chinese Taoist Fu Mengchi who accompanied his ruler Hülegü. Fu Mengchi informed Nas?r al-D?n T?s? ...
متن کاملCalendars as types: data modeling, constraint reasoning, and type checking with calendars
This thesis investigates real-life calendars, calendar and time expressions, and time and date formats. The thesis aims at the development of computer-based tools for modeling and processing such calendric data, primarily in the “World Wide Web”, in particular regarding today’s internationalization efforts and the vision of the “Semantic Web”. Applications are not only appointment scheduling pr...
متن کاملResources for Calendar Expressions Semantic Tagging and Temporal Navigation through Texts
The linguistic resources presented in this paper are designed for the recognition and semantic tagging of calendar expressions in French. While existing resources generally put the emphasis on describing calendar bases pointed out by calendar expressions (which are considered as named entities), our approach tries to explicit how references to calendar are linguistically built up, taking into a...
متن کاملOn the Discovery of Interesting Patterns in Association Rules
Many decision support systems, which utilize association rules for discovering interesting patterns, require the discovery of association rules that vary over time. Such rules describe complicated temporal patterns such as events that occur on the “first working day of every month.” In this paper, we study the problem of discovering how association rules vary over time. In particular, we introd...
