You'd need permanent and unique ids for concepts like "the middle ages", "20th century" "the 1990's" "week 1 of 2010" etc. that can than be arranged in a similar structural hierarchy as woeids are hierarchically arranged. Sadly, nobody has yet come up with these WITids (when-in-time ids). But I agree that a WOEid/WITid pair would be a great way to represent things.
