DurativeEventType type of durative event A collection of collections. If TYPE is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/DurativeEventType" class="cyc_term">DurativeEventType</a>, each instance of TYPE is a "durative event" extended through time, i.e., it endures continuously between its starting and ending points, and such points are not simultaneous. As an example, writing a letter is a durative event type, since an event of this type will (except in "degenerate" cases) have a distinct starting point, a period of time in the middle during which writing occurs, and an end point at which the letter is written. By contrast, winning a prize is an instantaneous change: up to the moment the event takes place, you don't have the prize, after that you do. Granted, the awarding of the prize might in fact have a physical duration, but from a conceptual or logical point of view it might as well have none. If one thinks of events as the occurrence of "changes", one may regard durative events as changes that intrinsically occupy a continuous, non-zero chunk of time, and non-durative events (for which see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PunctualEventType" class="cyc_term">PunctualEventType</a>) as instantaneous changes. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CumulativeEventType" class="cyc_term">CumulativeEventType</a> is a proper specialization of this collection, because the cumulativity property (see the salient assertion for <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CumulativeEventType" class="cyc_term">CumulativeEventType</a>) implies that all process types can have temporal extension. Naturally, many <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/DurativeEventType" class="cyc_term">DurativeEventType</a>s are not cumulative, but rather <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AccomplishmentType" class="cyc_term">AccomplishmentType</a>s.
