Time — Schema.org Type, Hierarchy & Properties

Learn about Schema.org Time: parent types, child types, property value relationships and official references. Independent local educational guide.

Source: Schema.org v30.1 offline vocabulary. Official Time definition.

What is Time?

A point in time recurring on multiple days in the form hh:mm:ss[Z|(+|-)hh:mm] (see [XML schema for details](http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#time)).

DataType guidance: Time describes the format or meaning of a value. Use it where a Schema.org property accepts this value type. See the property table below for practical contexts.

Full parent hierarchy

Each chain starts at a root type. Multiple paths are shown when Schema.org defines more than one parent. For very complex types, up to 256 paths are displayed; consult the official definition for the full graph.

cutoffTimeServicePeriod or ShippingDeliveryTimeOrder cutoff time allows merchants to describe the time after which they will no longer process orders received on that day. For orders processed after cutoff time, one day gets added to the delivery time estimate. This property is expected to be most typically used via the [[ShippingRateSettings]] publication pattern. The time is indicated using the ISO-8601 Time format, e.g. "23:30:00-05:00" would represent 6:30 pm Eastern Standard Time (EST) which is 5 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
departureTimeTripThe expected departure time.
doorTimeEventThe time admission will commence.
endTimeAction or FoodEstablishmentReservation or InteractionCounter or MediaObject or ScheduleThe endTime of something. For a reserved event or service (e.g. FoodEstablishmentReservation), the time that it is expected to end. For actions that span a period of time, when the action was performed. E.g. John wrote a book from January to *December*. For media, including audio and video, it's the time offset of the end of a clip within a larger file.\n\nNote that Event uses startDate/endDate instead of startTime/endTime, even when describing dates with times. This situation may be clarified in future revisions.
opensOpeningHoursSpecificationThe opening hour of the place or service on the given day(s) of the week.
startTimeAction or FoodEstablishmentReservation or InteractionCounter or MediaObject or ScheduleThe startTime of something. For a reserved event or service (e.g. FoodEstablishmentReservation), the time that it is expected to start. For actions that span a period of time, when the action was performed. E.g. John wrote a book from *January* to December. For media, including audio and video, it's the time offset of the start of a clip within a larger file.\n\nNote that Event uses startDate/endDate instead of startTime/endTime, even when describing dates with times. This situation may be clarified in future revisions.
