Design and use of the Simple Event Model (SEM)

摘要: Events have become central elements in the representation of data from domains such as history, cultural heritage, multimedia and geography. The Simple Event Model (SEM) is created to model events these various domains, without making assumptions about domain-specific vocabularies used. SEM designed with a minimum semantic commitment guarantee maximal interoperability. In this paper, we discuss general requirements an event for web give examples two use cases: historic maritime safety security domain. advantages disadvantages several existing models are discussed context example. We design decisions underlying SEM. coupled Prolog API that enables users create instances going into details implementation model. By tight coupling packages, facilitates easy integration Linked Open Data. illustrate
