Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: $Date: 2007/06/29 15:25:11 $ Chris@0: Chris@0: This ontology deals with the notion of reified events--- Chris@0: events seen as first-class objects. It only defines one Chris@0: concept: Event, which may have agents (actively Chris@0: participating), factors (passively participating), products, Chris@0: and a location in space and time. Chris@0: Chris@0: Regarding the ontological status of event tokens, they are seen Chris@0: as the way cognitive agents classify space/time regions Chris@0: Chris@0: The Event ontology Chris@0: Chris@0: The Event ontology Chris@0: Chris@0: Revision: 1.01 Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: An arbitrary classification of a space/time region, by a Chris@0: cognitive agent. An event may have actively participating agents, Chris@0: passive factors, products, and a location in space/time. Chris@0: Chris@0: Event Chris@0: stable Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Everything produced by an event Chris@0: Chris@0: Product Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: stable Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Everything used as a factor in an event Chris@0: Chris@0: Factor Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: stable Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Relates an event to an active agent (a person, a computer, ... :-) ) Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: agent Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: stable Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Relates an event to a passive factor (a tool, an instrument, an abstract cause...) Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: factor Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: stable Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Relates an event to a factor which can be described as a literal. This property Chris@0: should not be used as-is, but should be subsumed by other, more specific, properties Chris@0: (like an hypothetic :weatherCelsius, linking an event to a temperature). Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: literal factor Chris@0: Chris@0: stable Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Relates an event to something produced during the event---a sound, a pie, whatever... Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: product Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: stable Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: This property provides a way to split a complex event (for example, a performance involving several Chris@0: musicians) into simpler ones (one event per musician). Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: sub-event Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: stable Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Relates an event to a time object, classifying a time region (either instantaneous or having an extent). Chris@0: By using the Timeline ontology here, you can define event happening on a recorded track or on any Chris@0: media with a temporal extent. Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: time Chris@0: Chris@0: stable Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Chris@0: Relates an event to a spatial object.
