Uta Lösch, Nadejda Nikitina · 2009
Abstract. In the broader context of the development of an ontologybased new event detection system, we are developing the newsEvents ontology which allows modeling business events, the affected entities and relations between them. This paper presents requirements for and a first version of this ontology. A pattern-based approach to the design of the ontology was taken. Thereby a new useful pattern- the EventRole pattern- was identified and specified. 1
