How to structure opening hours of a place? May-be there's even an ontology for it?

Does anyone know any ontology which specifies opening hours of places? For example, I have a museum, which has 2 seasons. For low season (season start and end is specified), it is opened 10.00 - 18.00 on weekdays and 10-16 on saturday (on sunday it's closed), for high season it's opened 10-20 on weekdays and 10-18 on weekend.

If there is no ontology, may-be people have experience, how best to structure information like that?

I'm describing information in RDF. But whatever comments are welcome (even if you have relational database which holds given data).

Thanks

A: 

There is a large library of free data models here.

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

You might find the W3C's RDF Calendar note useful. I've not tried it myself, but I can say that you probably want to represent your data in iCalendar format if you can.

Thanks! I will check it out. RDF Calendar seems to have to right goal (at least in the paragraph 11 they point out shop business hours representation).
