You might want to check the event ontology we use in the music
ontology. The namespace is:
http://purl.org/NET/c4dm/event.owl#
It is a really simple ontology, and you can see concrete use of it in
the datasets published using MO (Musicbrainz, dbtune, etc.).
There is a small description of it in [1].
