Allens logic, for instance, is only temporal - not spatiotemporal. (In fact it is included in the CRM). Allen (A llen 1983) searches/refers to techniques (by describing relationships between temporal intervals) available for representing time knowledge in general applications as needed in Artificial Intelligence
