Time Ontology outstanding Issue 10

Dear All,
 
Here is an issue in the latest draft of the Time Ontology http://w3c.github.io/sdw/time/ for discussion and resolution.

As said in Issue 9, there is ongoing work in OGC, and ISO on non-Gregorian calendars and time in WKT that is relevant. 

As there is probably a consensus that Annex B Time Zone and namespace zont is not well developed, I support this proposal to add a stub class for Time Zone.

My understanding is that this has been done, so I propose that the issue is resolved but some of the text is left to explain the need for future work.

5.8 Class: GeneralDateTimeDescription
Issue 10 [No link]
The time zone ontology provided in the Annex is immature and incomplete. Use of a tzont:TimeZone from that ontology as the range of an ObjectProperty in OWL-Time creates an implied dependency which is not ideal. We propose adding a stub class time:TimeZone into the main namespace (i.e. no properties) which can then be a super-class or equivalent class to any time zone formalization.(Compare with time:TRS which is handled this way.)
