Category: SmartDestinations

There is a new common section, named “DateTime-Commons“,  in the file common-schema.json (the one which is partially included into most of the data models) because it compiles some shared elements (like Location-Commons or GSMA-Commons).
This section includes the first element, which is the mapping into a property (type object) of the schema.org class OpeningHoursSpecification. (see below)

So whenever there is an opening hours specification this would be the chosen format. (It is true that there is a similar property named OpeningHours, also mapped in schema.org) that it is only a text (oriented to be printed more than queried).

It only affects the museum data model that it will be updated after gathering the feedback of the contributors.

The new section included.

“type”: “object”,
