Description
An English description of the definition (what distinguishes this sense of the term?).
A recurring event is a means of describing scenarios where some activity is scheduled to recur at some regular interval. It is important to note that recurring events such as scheduled transit trips and operating hours represent planned or usual occurrences. But exceptions to the planned recurrence may exist. For example, while a business may be open at some recurring intervals, it's possible that given some exceptional circumstances (for example, a power failure) they may not be open during the predefined days and times. Recurring events are defined based on the regular interval at which they occur; this is captures using some combination of the hasTime, dayOfWeek, hasMonth, and dayOfMonth properties. Using these properties, ontology defines the following specizliations of the RecurringEvent class. Other subclasses may be defined similarly, as required.
Class Diagram Description
Figure 1 illustrates how the Recurring Event Pattern could be used to define the concept of a scheduled bus trip. In this example, the scheduled bus trip “sched_bus_trip” recurs daily at 8:00 am so all occurrences of the event (i.e. activities “bustrip1_123”, “bustrip1_321”) should occur at 8:00 am on their respective dates.
