An interesting new bit of news on the topic today, from http://semanticweb.com/schema-org-chat-googles-r-v-guha//
/

   /The Semantic Web Blog/: Where do challenges still lie for schema.org?

   /Guha/: We have to get to the next level, to represent time which is
   always a challenge in plain old RDF. And we are working with the W3C
   folks on trying to come up with ways to represent time.

Lars,

I'm using the Time ontology for this purpose: http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-time/

Is there a standard (recommended) datatype to use when I want to specify a time interval (e. g. 2013-11-13--2013-11-14)? The XML Schema types [1] don't include a time interval format (unless you want to encode it as starting time + duration). There seems to be a way to encode it using ISO 8601, the Wikipedia says that intervals can be expressed as 'Start and end, such as "2007-03-01T13:00:00Z/2008-05-11T15:30:00Z"' [2], but I haven't found a formally defined datatype to use with RDF data.

Thanks for any help,

Lars
