Activity branch (ARM WG) The purpose of this branch/model is to support documentation of activities undertaken by actors. It can be implemented as branch underneath an Actor model, or as a resource model unto itself that has one or more relationships to Actors.
Contact Point branch (ARM WG) This is a basic branch which describes the contact point for a resource.
Creation branch (ARM WG) This is a creation branch, which describes the production event of a Conceptual Object.

Particularly it allows the expression of definite start and end dates for a time-span, approximate outer bound estimation of time-spans and duration knowledge of time-span in terms of maximum and minimum duration of a temporal occurrence.
