Time Modeling in Office Information Systems

Summary: TSOS time model extends SOS for office data, handling static and transition times, calendar abstraction, and temporal/logical time functions. Enables imprecise times, causal time relations, and global rule-triggering for integrated office activities. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
