How to structure the opening hours of a place? Maybe even an ontology?

Question

Does anyone know any ontology that indicates the hours of operation of places? For example, I have a museum that has 2 seasons. In the low season (the season begins and ends the season), it is open 10.00 - 18.00 on weekdays and 10-16 on Saturday (Sunday it is closed), in the high season it opened 10-20 on weekdays and 10-18 on weekends.

If there is no ontology, perhaps people have experience, what is the best way to structure such information?

I am describing information in RDF. But any comments are welcome (even if you have a relational database that contains data).

thanks

Answer 1

You can find the W3C RDF Calendar useful note. I have not tried it myself, but I can say that you probably want to submit your data to iCalendar if you can.

Answer 2

there is also schema.org - http://schema.org/Museum may have hours of operation - its rather poor modeling, but is well supported by search engines if it was objective

Answer 3

There is also ncal - http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/2007/04/02/ncal/ , which is a revised version of W3C ical

Answer 4

I also saw that he claimed (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-vocabs/2011Dec/0062.html) that recurring events should be modeled individually and not use what is essentially rule (e.g. nical ncal, etc.). so the opening time is Monday 09/07/2012, and another on Tuesday 10/07/12 - I do not agree with this, but it’s worth considering

Answer 5

http://openinghours.io defines an ontology for maintaining hours of work. Using this ontology, you can reference existing files (for example, iCal) or include RDF structures (schema.org or RDFcal) as layers to form the correct hours of operation, indicating whether the calendar layer describes the closing time or the operating time.

Answer 6

There is a large library of free data models here .

Perhaps parts of one of these circuits will have what you need.
