Hi Toby, > 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. Let's not re-intent the wheel! Have you heard about LODE? http://linkedevents.org/ontology/ LODE has been designed after a thorough study of all known existing OWL/RDF ontologies that define events and provide a set of mappings between all models. Please read: Ryan Shaw, Raphaël Troncy and Lynda Hardman. LODE: Linking Open Descriptions of Events. In 4th Annual Asian Semantic Web Conference (ASWC'09), vol. LNCS 5926, pages 153-167, Shanghai, China, December 6-9, 2009. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-10871-6_11 http://www.eurecom.fr/~troncy/Publications/Troncy_Shaw-aswc09.pdf or watch: http://www.slideshare.net/troncy/lode-linking-open-descriptions-of-events-aswc-2009 LODE is more and more used in the LOD cloud. There is the EventMedia bubble (several hundreds of thousands of events linked with millions of photos and videos). LODE has been extended for DSNotify and for other linked data applications. > Let's kickstart this with the class eon:Event which would be a trivial > subclass of<http://purl.org/NET/c4dm/event.owl#Event>. [snip] > 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! All this example can be easily written in LODE. Best regards.
