i read through Time Ontology in OWL https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/WD-owl-time-20160712/ not being an expert in linked data nor time/data topics, much of it is hard for me to comment on, however there do seem to be a number of issues surrounding time zones, as the spec itself mentions in https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/WD-owl-time-20160712/#h-issue11. One thing that's not taken into account, however, afaict, is when DST is introduced or discontinued for a given area, eg. it was just discontinued in Egypt this year. I also find myself wondering why so much effort is going into creating ontological terms for much of this when it seems that expressing things as incremental time or looking up things in the Olson database would reduce the computation needed. ri
