    description: 'A duration or interval of time, representing a period rather than
      a point.

      **DISTINCTION FROM TimeSpan**: - `TimeSpan` represents a bounded period with
      begin/end points (CIDOC-CRM E52) - `TimeInterval` represents a duration/interval
      (e.g., "2 weeks", "quarterly")

      **USE CASES**: - Update frequency: "updated weekly" - Approval time: "typically
      2-3 business days" - Reporting period: "annual revenue for fiscal year"

      **ONTOLOGY MAPPING**: - class_uri: time:Duration (W3C Time Ontology) - Supports
      ISO 8601 duration format (P1Y, P2M, P3D, PT4H)'
