+<p>AsterixDB supports Allen&#x2019;s relations over interval types. Allen&#x2019;s relations are also called Allen&#x2019;s interval algebra. There are totally 13 base relations described by this algebra, and all of them are supported in AsterixDB (note that <tt>interval-equals</tt> is supported by the <tt>=</tt> comparison symbol so there is no extra function for it). </p>
+<p>A detailed description of Allen&#x2019;s relations can be found from its <a class="externalLink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen&apos;s_interval_algebra">wikipedia entry</a>. </p></div>

+<p><tt>duration</tt> represents a duration of time. A duration value is specified by integers on at least one of the following fields: year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and millisecond.</p>
+<p>A duration value is in the format of <tt>[-]PnYnMnDTnHnMn.mmmS</tt>. The millisecond part (as the fraction of the second field) is optional, and when no millisecond field is used, the decimal point should also be absent.</p>
+<p>Negative durations are also supported for the arithmetic operations between time instance types (<tt>date</tt>, <tt>time</tt> and <tt>datetime</tt>), and is used to roll the time back for the given duration. For example <tt>date(&quot;2012-01-01&quot;) + duration(&quot;-P3D&quot;)</tt> will return <tt>date(&quot;2011-12-29&quot;)</tt>.</p>
+<p>There are also two sub-duration types, namely <tt>year-month-duration</tt> and <tt>day-time-duration</tt>. <tt>year-month-duration</tt> represents only the years and months of a duration, while <tt>day-time-duration</tt> represents only the day to millisecond fields. Different from the <tt>duration</tt> type, both these two subtypes are totally ordered, so they can be used for comparison and index construction.</p>
+<p>Note that a canonical representation of the duration is always returned, regardless whether the duration is in the canonical representation or not from the user&#x2019;s input. More information about canonical representation can be found from <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#canonical-dayTimeDuration">XPath dayTimeDuration Canonical Representation</a> and <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#canonical-yearMonthDuration">yearMonthDuration Canonical Representation</a>.</p>
