ISSUE-168: Section 7 "DateTime Description" 1st paragraph:

Section 7 "DateTime Description" 1st paragraph:

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Time ontology in OWL
Raised by:
Simon Cox
Opened on:

Description:
From https://www.w3.org/XML/2007/qts-timeont-comments#id64153

A datetime description has the following properties/fields: unitType, year, month, week, day, dayOfWeek, dayOfYear, hour, minute, second, and timeZone.

Since the "week" (week number) is culture specific it seems a bad choice to include it in the "canonical" description without additional properties/fields to disambiguate this.

Proposed disposition - from email 2017-04-12

Yes - weeks, months, days etc, and week-numer are all culture specific.
One of the key enhancements in this revision of OWL-Time is the time:hasTRS property, to support the explicit indication of the temporal reference system (including calendar). This allows values to be scoped so they can be correctly interpreted. Gregorian Calendar / ISO 8601 is the default for :DateTimeDescription and :DateTimeDuration, but in all other cases the TRS should be indicated.
