Hello,

Regarding using GoodRelations to specify opening times data. Would the  
following work, or not, could anyone tell me please?

Emit from a webpage two main types of opening times blocks of data at  
the same time:

1. A weekly, Mon-Sun normal opening times (as demonstrated in the  
example here:  
http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/wiki/ 
GoodRelationsQuickstart#Shop.2C_Restaurant.2C_or_Store.2C_and_Opening_Ho 
urs) -- that is Mon-Sun (or Mon-Sat if closed days aren't to be  
specified) without any dates so to be applied indefinitely.

2. A day with a specific date range (a date range which covers just  
that one day) with different to the normal opening times, using this  
kind of code:
         <div property="gr:validFrom" content="2010-10-10T00:00:00Z"  
datatype="xsd:dateTime"></div>
         <div property="gr:validThrough" content="2010-10-10T23:59:59Z"  
datatype="xsd:dateTime"></div>

The idea being that the day's opening times specified with the specific  
date range would over-ride its day's standard times. This seems the  
most logical way to do it but I've yet to find out if it'd be illegal  
according to GR's rules, or legal but not a good idea, or absolutely  
fine, or what? I have no idea if it'd work or not. Would it?

Another question: is there a way to specify "closed"?

Thanks, Ben.
