I like something like the 'Simple Event Model' (SEM) [1]. We could even 
name the ontology LPPS for 'Locations, Positions, Places, and Spaces' 
and cover all of them as they are constantly confused in the literature 
and even more so in other ontologies. My main point is not to confuse 
the ontology with one potential language to represent it. If we want to 
make impact, we may be better served with a schema.org-like, and OWL, 
and a SHACL version to suit different needs and communities. IMHO, what 
matters most is the common model and less whether one implementation can 
express a bit more or less of the underlying model in terms of 
classical  reasoning or constrain checking.

Best,

Jano
