I am not sure that there is a standard way. You could use the RDF/Icalendar work [1] to describe the period as an event, with a start and end date. This is the kind of thing you probably don't want to have imported to your event diary, but it is realted to the sort the sort of use case that historians, museums and so on have for calendaring information. On the other hand, you can describe the events pretty easily in a reasonable calendar tool - they have interefaces for doing those things. And then use one of the iCal -> RDF tools out there to convert them... cheers Chaals [1] http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/ On Wed, 11 Aug 2004, Miles, AJ (Alistair) wrote: >> 3.
