subclass of: serial-publication
comment: this comes from the ontolingua library.a periodical-publication is published regularly, such as onceevery week. strictly speaking, the noun 'periodical' is usedby librarians to refer to things published at intervals of greaterthan a day. we use the phase periodical-publication to includenewspapers and other daily publications, since they share manybibliographic features.the periodicity indicates how often the publication comes out. note that this isa duration, rather than a time interval. a time interval indicates a specific time intervalon the time continuum, so we need to model periodicity as a time quantity
