class TemporalExtent(SQLDatabaseInterface):
    """This is the abstract time base class for relative and absolute time
    objects.

    It abstract class implements the interface to absolute and relative time.
    Absolute time is represented by datetime time stamps,
    relative time is represented by a unit an integer value.

    This class implements temporal topology relationships computation
    after [Allen and Ferguson 1994 Actions and Events in Interval Temporal Logic].
