Hi, I'm developing an ontology about weather forecast, which will contain some temporal information. I'm building my ontology based on some existing XML files, in other words, trying to represent and convert the XML elements to ontology OWL style. Here is my questions: in the XML files, there is some elements about time, for example <SingleDateTime> <caldate>20100502</caldate> <time>150000</time> </SingleDateTime> These elements describe the date and time of the forest. In my ontology, I'd like to say myOntology:forecast externalOntology:hasTime externalOntology:timeInstant Is there some common practice in expressing this statement? I found ontologies like SWRL temporal ontology and the SWEET (Semantic Web for Earth and Environmental Terminology) ontology have classes and properties for temporal expressions, while I'm not sure what's the appropriate practice in the community. Which existing temporal ontology classes/properties are more frequently used? I'd appreciate your suggestions. Thank you for your help! Miao
