I found also two vocabularies that can be helpful here regarding time:
   1- The OWL version of ISO 19108 implemented by Simon [1] at CSIRO
   2- And this "intervals ontology" 
(http://reference.data.gov.uk/def/intervals/) [2] defining many types of 
intervals of time/period (Although the scope here is more for 
statistics, many concepts can be reused elsewhere)
