Begin forwarded message... Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2010 00:32:50 +0000 From: Toby Inkster <tai@g5n.co.uk> To: foaf-dev <foaf-dev@lists.foaf-project.org> Subject: [foaf-dev] EON - event of note Let's do a bit of collaborative work to flesh out a FOAF-like lightweight vocabulary for describing events, suitable for embedding in RDFa to describe concerts, conferences, birthdays, anniversaries, national holidays and so on. Sure, we have the iCalendar RDF vocab, but I've come to the conclusion that that's more suited to representing calendar entries - not the events themselves. I'm thinking of a simple set of extensions for Yves Raimond's Event Ontology. Let's kickstart this with the class eon:Event which would be a trivial subclass of <http://purl.org/NET/c4dm/event.owl#Event>. Here's a sketch of how an event might look in Turtle: <#this> a eon:Event ; foaf:name "Lewes Bonfire" ; foaf:page <http://www.lewesbonfirecouncil.org.uk/> ; eon:date "2010-11-05"^^xsd:date ; eon:location [ foaf:name "Lewes" ; foaf:page wikipedia:Lewes ] . Properties that I think should be included: * eon:start and eon:end - which can be xsd:dateTime or xsd:date (if the latter, then the event starts/ends at an unspecified time on that day) * eon:date - a subproperty of both eon:start and eon:end with range xsd:date. * eon:location - range geo:SpatialThing Probably need an attendee property and an organizer/participant property. Maybe eon:cost, eon:details, eon:bookings. I've placed a sketch on my data wiki <http://wiki.ontologi.es/>. Feel free to edit; and add yourself as a foaf:maker if you do! -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:mail@tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
