I have to ask you to search the archive--it would take me a while to
work up an accurate example. 

A not-at-all-syntactically-correct or complete example would be:

<fcs id="common-era"
     extent="730730"
     calibrate="real-time">
  <!-- Lots of stuff for really defining the FCS elided
       including some quantum definitions that make it 
       easy to talk about years as units.
    -->
</fcs>


...

<fcsloc id="year-1962"
   fcs="common-era">
 <dimspec quantum="year">1962 1</dimspec>
</fcsloc>

<topic identity="my-birthday-year"
       id="eliots-bday"/>

<topic id="wek">
  <name>William Eliot Kimber</name>
</topic>

Could now create a "year-born-in" association between topic "wek" and
topic "year-1962" to establish the fact that I was born in 1962.

Cheers,

Eliot
