Abstract

In this paper we introduce the notion of a Temporal Relational Semantic System (TRSS) as a relational extension of a Temporal Conceptual Semantic System (TCSS) as defined by the author in 2007. TCSSs allow to represent states of distributed objects in concept lattices of specified views, the TRSSs enable the user to work in a conceptually simple way with arbitrary relational structures changing temporally. The flexible tools of conceptual scaling can now be applied also to relational structures. That yields for example a clear theoretical notion of the state of a temporal relation at some time granule. The main notions in TRSSs are visualized in some diagrams constructed from an example of a TRSS.
