Time is ordinarily viewed as a path or cycle. Graph models are considered which are a maximal extension of the old ones, subject to a topological constraint. It is shown that the new models have enhanced properties for the representation of temporal phenomena and may provide a useful framework for examining some fundamental assumptions about time.
