Abstraction level

more abstract

less abstract

sequence of elements is irrelevant

sequence of elements is relevant

iterator independent

iterator dependent

Informs about

membership of elements

sequence of intervals (segmentation)

Equality

equality of elements

equality of segments

Practical

interval_sets(maps) can be used as sets(maps) of elements(element value pairs)

Segmentation information is available. See e.g. Time grids for months and weeks
