How do you mean Tony? time as in date-time?
For Dates, dateTimes, Times, we've been using an RDF version of
iCalendar (developed by the RDF interest group calendaring taskforce):
http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal
http://esw.w3.org/topic/RdfCalendarDocumentation
http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/test/
e.g.
<Vevent>
<dtstart rdf:parseType='Resource'>
<dateTime>2003-01-15T18:00:00</dateTime>
<tzid>/softwarestudio.org/Olson_20011030_5/Europe/London</tzid>
</dtstart>
</Vevent>
(Notice the timezone reference, which in iCalendar (RFC 2445) has to
reference a timezone in the same file. Notice also that we use bnodes).
There's a problem with this approach:
http://ilrt.org/discovery/chatlogs/rdfig/2003-08-20.html#T16-57-54
There's also a problem with the W3C datetime formats note's approach to
timezones (http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime) in the sense that it is not
possible to be completely accurate about date-times using formats like:
1994-11-05T08:15:30-05:00
in the case of some timezone changeover periods.
There's lots more information on the www-rdf-calendar@w3.org list
(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-calendar/)
There is a guy generating urls from times and dates, but I can't find it
offhand, sorry. I'll try again if that's what you were after.
or did you mean something else? :)
