http://schema.org/CivicStructure has openingHours, whose value is said to be a Duration,
"The opening hours for a business. Opening hours can be specified as a weekly time range, starting with days, then times per day. Multiple days can be listed with commas ',' separating each day. Day or time ranges are specified using a hyphen '-'.
- Days are specified using the following two-letter combinations: Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr, Sa, Su.
- Times are specified using 24:00 time. For example, 3pm is specified as 15:00. 
- Here is an example: <time itemprop="openingHours" datetime="Tu,Th 16:00-20:00">Tuesdays and Thursdays 4-8pm</time>. 
- If a business is open 7 days a week, then it can be specified as <time itemprop="openingHours" datetime="Mo-Su">Monday through Sunday, all day</time>."

As part of the GoodRelations addition, there is also openingHoursSpecification which takes http://schema.org/OpeningHoursSpecification structures as a value.

The differences should be explained, and perhaps converged.
