| iuip | The IUI that has been assigned to a temporal region | IUIs that designate a temporal region must first be assigned using a Te template. |
| iuia | The IUI that designates the entity who assigned iuip to a particular | The entity that assigned the IUI to the temporal region. |
| tap | The time when the assignment was made | To avoid complexities of using temporal region IUIs here, we simply use an ISO8601 compliant date/time string (e.g., 2013-10-31T14:48:32.234-05:00). |
| uui | The basic type of the temporal region, according to Basic Formal Ontology | Either temporal interval or temporal boundary (a.k.a. temporal instant). |
| iuit | The IUI of the Te template itself | Every template gets an IUI that is referenced minimally by one metadata template. |

The temporal entity name template captures exactly one name of a given temporal entity, including the assignment of an IUI to the name. With the Te template, it simplifies management of temporal entities and their names.
Note that a particular temporal interval can have multiple names. For example, the time interval denoted by 2013-11-08T14:00-06:00 (an ISO8601 standard name for 2p Central Standard Time on Friday, November 8, 2013) has at least 23 other names (in different time zones): 2013-11-08T15:00-05:00, 2013-11-08T20:00Z, 2013-11-09T05:00+09:00, etc. Note that the date is actually different in the last name from the others.
For every temporal entity for which we store a name, we ought to also store the UTC name (2013-11-08T20:00Z) in the RTS ideally.
