There are two major aspects or views of icl containers. The first and predominant aspect is called fundamental. The second and minor aspect is called segmental.

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 |
On the fundamental aspect
interval implements
a set of elements partially.
interval_set implements
a set of elements.
interval_map implements
a map of element value pairs.
On the segmental aspect
interval_set implements
a set of intervals.
interval_map implements
a map of interval value pairs.
