Comment
  • An holistic perspective considers each part of the whole as equally important, without the need of a granularity hierarchy (in time or space). The interest is on the whole space-time object and on its space-time parts (how they contribute to the whole, i.e. their roles), without going further into specifying the spatial hierarchy or the temporal position of each part.
This class allows the picking of parts without necessarily going trough a rigid hierarchy of spatial compositions (e.g. body -> organ -> cell -> molecule) or temporal composition. This is inline with the transitive nature of parthood, as it is usually defined in literature. [en]
