How can I link a resource to an event?

Hello,

This is a question about events, something that happens or happened at some
time. I have found several ways of describing events in Linked Data:

   - use The Simple Event Model Ontology
   <http://semanticweb.cs.vu.nl/2009/11/sem/semdoc.html>
   - use The Event Ontology
   <http://motools.sourceforge.net/event/event.html>
   - use LODE <http://linkedevents.org/ontology/>
   - http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#dcmitype-Event

So I won't have trouble describing an event using common vocabularies. But
what is a general way of linking a resource to an event? Expressing that an
event takes place in the course of life of a resource? Which predicate
could I use?

Some background: I am trying to assign certain temporal properties to
resources. Some specific properties can not be found in common
vocabularies. However, those entities can be found in common SKOS-based
thesauri, because SKOS thesauri tend to have more specialized contents than
ontologies.

Take the concept 'pedestrian zone' from EuroVoc
<http://eurovoc.europa.eu/4799> for example: A SKOS concept exists, but the
concept is not readily available as a temporal property, if for instance
one wants to share the fact that a certain street will be a pedestrian zone
at a certain time.

A possible way of using such a term would be to define an event of which
the subject (dcterms:subject <http://purl.org/dc/terms/subject>) is the SKOS
concept. The event would have applicable start or end times. That way I
have a temporal entity built on common semantics, and I have avoided having
to create my own vocabulary for describing the thing I want to express. And
so I arrive at the problem: I have some data describing an event, but how
can I link from a resource to the event, with the meaning of 'has undergone
event' or 'will undergo event'?

I see that event ontologies do allow linking from an event to a place or a
person. But I would rather have it the other way around: link from a
resource to an event, instead of linking from the event. And how would it
be possible to link an event to things that are neither people not
locations (e.g. 'life on earth')? I could be mistaken, but it seems a
general property to link to an event could come in handy.

About six weeks ago have asked this question at answers.semanticweb.com (
here
<http://answers.semanticweb.com/questions/32996/how-to-link-a-resource-to-an-event>),
but so far no reply came in. So I thought I could try to ask the question
on this list now.
