I agree that Duration would be a useful element to associate with segments. I also think that we should have a general Duration field associated with the resource as a whole, in the Intellectual Content class (see issue #61)
I would like to recommend there be a way however, to indicate that Duration at the Intellectual Content level and/or Segment level is approximate (or actual), since most Instantiations will have slightly (or significantly) different duration times across the board for a given resource. For this reason and others, I've found that an approximate duration is useful at the Intellectual Content level.
Content-oriented segments of a resource may have a segment number and length without a specific start and end time. Categorization may change from segment to segment as well. If pbcorePart is the most appropriate place to define segments, I would recommend adding segment number and length elements. Alternatively, pbcoreDescription would require a subject element as well. See this example using a recent Charlie Rose episode:
