Is there a Microformat for the Hours a Business is open?

I was wondering if there was yet a Microformat for a business's hours of operation.

If not, who do I submit a standard to?

After submitting the same question to the Microformats mailing list, I received a reply from someone named Martin Hepp who apparently has come up with a specification for this.

He provided me with the following links:

The GoodRelations vocabulary provides a standard way for business hours of operation, see:

http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/wiki/Rdfa4google

http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/wiki/GoodRelations_and_Yahoo_SearchMonkey

#

the full spec and other materials are at

http://www.ebusiness-unibw.org/wiki/GoodRelations

This is used e.g. by Bestbuy to expose the opening hours of their 1000k stores in the US.

Best

Martin
