I have an action to propose the NewsML 2 mechanism for specifying 
the interaction between entities and events (or event types), 
including an optional significance weighting.  I suggest the 
following:

   <subject code="...">       <!-- An entity -->
      <affected code="..."    <!-- An event (type) -->
         significance="..."/>  
   </subject>
 
   <subject code="..."/>      <!-- An event (type) -->
 
   <subject code="...">       <!-- An entity -->
      <affectedBy code="..."  <!-- An event (type) -->
         significance="..."/>
   </subject>
 
For example:
 
   <subject>
 
      <bag>
 
      <bit code="xyz:Changan"> <!-- Changan Automotive Group -->
         <affected code="eventType:JV" significance="60"/>
      </bit>
 
      <bit code="xyz:Ford"> <!-- Ford Motor Company -->
         <affected code="eventType:JV" significance="30"/>
      </bit>
 
      <bit code="xyz:Mazda"> <!-- Mazda Motor Corporation -->
         <affected code="eventType:JV" significance="30"/>
      </bit>
 
      <bit code="eventType:JV"/> <!-- Joint Venture -->
 
      <bit code="xyz:CFM"> <!-- Changan Ford Mazda Engine Company -->
         <affectedBy code="eventType:JV" significance="100"/>
      </bit>
 
      </bag>
 
   </subject>
 

Any comments?
