Documentation: This class is sort of a short cut, allowing recorded events have start and end times, rather than creating independent evidence objects. This is not really correct, but the extra level of indirection makes data entry noticably more difficult.

	Slot Name	Documentation	Type	Cardinality
	end_index	The ending index of the supporting data. Again, use index_type to interpret this. Value may equal start_index.	String	0:1
	evidence	This points to supporting data for the term, if any.	Serially_indexed_object	0:1
	follows	Specifies a temporal object that follows this one in a sequence	Temporal_Entity	0:1
	index_type	This should help the interpretation of the index string.	{count, time, time frame}	1:1
	precedes	Specifies a temporal object that preceeds this one in a sequence.	Temporal_Entity	0:1
	start_index	The index at the start of the serial information of interest. Use index_type to figure out how to interpret this.	String	0:1
